Speaking of healthcare yesterday, I would just replay a little bit of mail we got yesterday because we've got a response, and I think you'll find it intriguing.
We've been told on good authority that she waited for more than thirty minutes for an ambulance to turn up in the pouring rain. She was lying in the middle of King William Street after she was hit. Now we understand that an intensive care paramedic in a car arrived within fifteen minutes to make sure that she was okay, and mercifully she had despite being injured. The injuries were non life threatening, but it took more than half an hour for an ambulance to arrive from the rah less than a kilometer away, so she had to lie on the road. SAPOLE and MFS crews were called in to try and cover the victim with a tarp, so she was left lying on the road for more than half an hour in the rain before an ambulance Ie Evan with a stretcher became available.
And I think I made the point yesterday during that segment that I bet this hit every benchmark except the public advictation. Yeah, expect the public expectations, So we did get we've got a quote from the SaaS who so they received a request for attendance at a Priority two incident oute laid. A highly skilled intensive care paramedic was probably dispatched and arrived on the scene within thirteen minutes, which is ahead of these sixteen minute target, okay, which is what we said. The care was provided an ambulance to assist and transport. The patient arrived at seven thirty eight, so that's twenty six minutes later.
Twenty six which is not half an our twenty six minut day, all right.
Cool, And then they arrived at the Royal Adelaide at seven fifty eight, so it so.
To forty six minutes to get the one kilometer trip from middle of King William Street to the raft.
So the people that witnessed this said to us, it was just jarring to see emergency services people there were not we were talking fieries and a first responder standing there with a tarp over someone hanging around nine hundred meters from the hospital after being hit by a car. And it's taking that long. But statement from essay Ambulance Services that is the system working optimally.
Well, get used to it.
That's the benchmark
