Why are there so many reviews? One issue I have picked up from speaking to paramedics is that there are not enough staff. Mr. Morton stated there is a 30% deficiency in staff and capacity throughout the system. As far back as 2015, there was the baseline capacity review, then there was the 2020 review of fleet and equipment and now there is the latest review. Mr. Woods indicated that more funding has been provided in recent years and more staff have come in. Will our guests directly address the 30% deficiency in capacity that Mr. Morton mentioned? In real terms, how many additional staff would be required to bring that up to a sufficient level?
