@ParamedProf @NSWAmbulance @DuncanMcConnel1 @DrDavidNLong @rlarsenfpa @tracyniks @James_W_Pearce @agwalker01 @omeara_p @DrLouReynolds @tmakrides @MelissaSweetDr Doesn't WA have a few rural legacy health district paramedic systems?

@NSWAmbulance @DuncanMcConnel1 @DrDavidNLong @rlarsenfpa @tracyniks @James_W_Pearce @agwalker01 @omeara_p @DrLouReynolds @tmakrides @MelissaSweetDr These initiatives are based around ambulance deployment.
