Text

I acknowledge what the Minister has said. Does he believe that some of the 149 people were part of the 97,507 individuals who, while waiting for an ambulance to arrive, had to have the category of seriousness of their case upgraded because they had been waiting so long? What are we going to do to get our Ambulance Service up to the standard that it needs to be at in order to support its staff, who are worked to the bone? They are working day and night to provide a service for people in our community.
