One of the nurses in the NETS team tells me it is a rare situation for the lights to be used.

I would imagine it would'nt drive on the road all that often.
I've closed the door!
Re: SJA - Neonoct..... - Newborn Baby Ambulance No.2
Quite often actually, mainly for transfers from outlying hospitals to PMH or KEMH.

Dunno if it was that one, or the first model, but I passed one going the other way over the level crossing outside Guildford Grammar School this morning

Thought it wasn't used much. If I recall the original vehicle just sat at PMH most of the time. If they're using it a bit more that's better, get a bit more value for money and free up emergency ambulances for other stuff instead of transfers.
Re: SJA - Neonoct..... - Newborn Baby Ambulance No.2
This vehicle is crewed by a single officer Mon - Fri from 0730 - 2400. It is currently doing around 2-3 calls per day.
Re: SJA - Neonoct..... - Newborn Baby Ambulance No.2
2-3 calls per day is way too often in my eyes!
Re: SJA - Neonoct..... - Newborn Baby Ambulance No.2
At that rate I'm guessing they're just doing a lot of routine transfers that PTVs or ambulances would do. Since they have the fancy vehicle may as well use it. Justify it's use and purchase/donation by charitable money.

I guess it is only stocked with things babies need.

well great to see it on the road! There old Bluey ambulance @ PMH from what I saw very hardly moved?
I've closed the door!
Re: SJA - Neonoct..... - Newborn Baby Ambulance No.2
It appears to have the blue Government 'Q' number plates, which implies it's owned by the State Government, not SJA.
