Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Mrs PADGHAM-PURICH - 1996-02-21

Can the minister tell me if approaches have been made to himself or to the government to subsidise a private ambulance service in the interests of the Darwin Private Hospital, on a similar basis to the deed of grant which the government has with St John Ambulance Service? If approaches have been made for such a subsidy grant, what are the intentions of the government on this matter, now and in the future?

ANSWER

Mr Speaker, to my knowledge, no such approaches have been made, but I will check with the department. I have no knowledge at all of such a proposal.
