Ambulance Rescue Service
Reverend the Hon. Dr GORDON MOYES: I ask the Special Minister of State, representing the Minister for Health, a question without notice. Does New South Wales have a highly effective and highly skilled ambulance rescue service? Has the Health and Research Employees Association of New South Wales expressed concern over suggestions that the ambulance rescue service will be shut down? Is there any substance to the rumours that the New South Wales Government intends to abolish the ambulance rescue service? What assurance will the Minister give that the Government will continue to support the State’s highly effective and highly skilled ambulance rescue service, especially in the Sydney metropolitan area?
The Hon. JOHN DELLA BOSCA: Obviously, the matters raised by the honourable member are very important. I will refer them to the Minister for Health and ask him to reply promptly.
