Over the weekend Queensland paramedics had over 180 jobs that were sourced and on Monday morning there were still 150 jobs outstanding. 

The average number of Triple Zero (000) calls during March is 3300, with Friday experiencing a surge of over 3700 calls, indicating that there is a major issue here in Queensland.

Health Minister Tim Nicholls told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "The ambulance service cancelled non-essential training, offered overtime to the workforce and redirected neighbouring districts who weren't experiencing the surge into Metro South and Metro North particularly to answer those calls."
