Sign Funding of Ambulance Services in WA

To the President and Members of the Legislative Council:

express deep concern in relation to the cost to users of the ambulance service in Western Australia, as well as the inadequate funding provided to ambulance sub-centres in regional Western Australia.
We therefore ask the Legislative Council to support measures which will:
1. Ensure ambulance services are made free at the point of use for all Western Australian residents; and
2. Guarantee regional ambulance sub-centres are appropriately funded and resourced to meet the needs of their communities.

And your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray.
