Ms ROSOL – I’m just going back to the ambulance responses questions that I was asking before. What was the total number of paramedic shifts that were worked in 2024-25? And what was the total number that went unfilled? And if you could give those figures in raw terms, please, not in percentages. The total number of paramedic shifts that were worked in 2024‑25 and the total number that went unfilled – shifts that went unfilled. Do you want to take that on notice?
Mrs ARCHER – I don’t have it down to that level of detail, but I will see whether the Secretary has it. I have number of incidents and response times but not – yeah, do you want to go ahead?
Mr WEBSTER – Through you, minister, and apologies for the delay there. In 2024-25 we had a total – I will do it by area. At the comm-centre, there were 1035 shifts unfilled through the financial year. In the north‑west there were – sorry that doesn’t, I will have to come back to that one. In the north it was 1236, in the south, 3926, and in – unfilled, these are unfilled shifts. North‑west – I’m going to get one of my team to quickly add it up, which is 2822 in the north‑west, unfilled shifts.
Ms ROSOL – So that was the unfilled shifts. Then the first part of my question was the total number of paramedic shifts, if you’ve got that figure, please. Is that a figure that you’d be able to get on notice or? Yeah, okay, you may take that on notice? Thank you.
Following up on that, how many single response shifts were worked by paramedics in 2024-25?
Mr WEBSTER – Total number of shifts, firstly, is 51,465.
Ms ROSOL – That’s statewide?
Mr WEBSTER – I believe so. Across the three regions, that doesn’t include the comm‑centre.
Ms ROSOL – Not including comms?
Mr WEBSTER –We will get a breakdown by region and comm‑centre.
Ms ROSOL – Great, thank you. Just the single response shifts, how many of them were worked in 2024-25?
Mrs ARCHER – I will take that one on notice as well.
Ms ROSOL – Great, thanks.
Mr WEBSTER – Through you, minister. On that, we have a number of roles that are single response roles, like Intensive Care Paramedic, versus those which are paramedic responses, say from a Branch Station Officer, where a volunteer isn’t available.
Ms ROSOL – Is that something that you could put into the question on notice?
Mr WEBSTER – Yes.
Ms ROSOL – Great, thank you for that.
