If there talking about hospital ramping its the governments problem WHICH they can fix by having more doctors.The government taking over the ambulance service will still result in ramping, it would be good BUT they need to fix the hospital system first because after what ive seen this week it sucks majorly more so the outter fringes sisters
Not seeing the news article can we confirm they are talking about ramping or talking about the ambulance service in general because sticking a dr in an ambulance still results in ramping.
FYI its a 3 year programme to turn sja into government run and control so dont expect a miracle to happen overnight.
SJA must be busy today.....dunno where the other one is but someones picking up the slack
A dr in each ambulance = large costs

Hi Everyone, just signed up and reading your discussion. SA Ambo sevice changed over back in '96 and is much better being Govt run. The WA Ambo union wants this to happen, including some other unachievable requests too. Look at NSW Ambo service has introduced Extended Care paras so treatment can be done and not always need to transport to hosp. Qld have Adv paras too with similar objectives. Both of these are in state run services.
Cheers
Cheers
Takeover
WA Premier said that the State Government wasnt intersted in taking over SJA on news couple nights ago ?Weedmeister wrote:Hi Everyone, just signed up and reading your discussion.

And can politicians be trusted??
The Health Dept already pays big $$$ to SJA and has got contracts in place and not sure if this is the long term answer. Though like the other states being Government run services, SJA has shortages as discussed in other threads on this site..
SA has gone back to general entries this year (as wll as Uni grads) in order to compensate for shortages and employing volunteer ambos who are already partly qualified. Look back to '96 when SA ambo service had such similar problems to WA at present and since being government run has become a very good service with the right people administering it.
FESA being the govt emergency services provider or Health Dept is closely linked to the WA ambo service too. It will be interesting to see which dept gets it...
Lots of country stations with vols also cannot provide 100% coverage like the fulltime staff. Other stratagies and incentives need to be planned.

Hi all,
First Post here and I thought I'll post some information about this subject from a NSW perspective.
NSW Ambulance Service has had major problems in the past, in being able to off loading its patents from their Ambulance Stretchers to Hospital Emergency Departments Beds, with some 3 to 4 Ambulance crews stuck in the Emergency Departments for up to 2 – 3 hours quiet regularly before their patents are found hospital beds.
This situation has improved some what over the past 18 months, mainly accredited to initiatives being introduced within the Hospital Emergency Departments where many now have on-site Medical Clinic’s setup next to Emergency Departments, to look at Non Emergency Casualties, i.e. those people who should see their local Doctor, not the Hospital Emergency Department Doctors.
