00:02Every month the government releases ramping data and details how many ambulances reach the most serious priority one and two
00:10cases on time.
00:12The same is not done for priority three and priority four ambulance response times.
00:17When ambulances are supposed to arrive within 30 or 60 minutes.
00:21Earlier this month the government did release those figures for April 2026 comparing them to March 2022 when Labor was
00:30elected on a promise to fix the ramping crisis.
00:33The Liberals lodged an FOI that fills the gaps.
00:37What we're doing today is releasing every month of data for every priority category that we've been able to obtain
00:45under free information.
00:46Claiming the figures show most lower priority call outs aren't being met on time.
00:52The government's hit back arguing there's been an improvement in all areas since 2022.
00:58It says it has publicly released the figures but they're published in a different way to highest priority cases.
01:05Ambulances are turning up on time in life driven situations.
01:09Now obviously the ambulance service would want to turn up on time as often as they possibly can and they've
01:13got more resources than they've ever had before.
01:17Ramping is still higher than when Labor took office in March 2022.
01:21But priority one and two response times have improved.
01:25About 70% of priority one cases are seen within the designated eight minutes.
01:30Despite an improvement in priority three cases, only about one in three ambulances are turning up on time.
01:37It's because the most of the emphasis has been on priority ones and twos and rightfully so.
01:42The union wants to see more improvement on priority three responses.
01:46These cases do need to have the attention shown to them because it's not saying that their condition is not
01:52important.
01:53It is important. It's an urgent case.
01:54This month's ramping data is due out in August.
