- Paramedic Service Response Performance 2025 and Performance Plan Recommendation for 2027 - 2026-318.pdf

Staff say targets were generally met despite emergency call volumes rising more than eight per cent, helped by staffing added in the 2024 budget and less time waiting to hand off patients at hospital.
