The Australian Paramedics Association wants more intensive care paramedics trained up and deployed to the bush.
The union believes there’s a severe shortage of specialised professionals in many country towns, including Armidale.
In a statement, New South Wales Ambulance said:
“In 2020-21, the NSW Government is investing more than $1 billion in NSW Ambulance including $27 million in funding for 180 new Ambulance staff across NSW. This is the third tranche of the 2018 Budget commitment to recruit a record 750 additional paramedic and control centre staff over four years to support our hard-working paramedics.”
