The Bureau of Health Information has released data showing the elapsed time between calls made to ambulance services and paramedics arriving at the scene.

This data is available for the state as a whole and region-by-region.

The southern region extends from Batemans Bay to the Victorian border in the south and to West Wyalong in the west. It includes Gouburn, Yass, Young, Queanbeyan and Jindabyne. 

Compared to the state average, patients classed “urgent” in the Southern region were more likely to receive an ambulance response within 60 minutes, or 97 per cent compared to 95 per cent.

However, emergency patients were less likely to receive an ambulance within 30 minutes - 88 per cent compared to 94.7 per cent.

“These new ambulance measures help build a more comprehensive picture of emergency care provided to people in NSW,” the bureau’s acting chief executive Dr Kim Sutherland said.

The report also includes information on elective surgery, admitted patients and emergency department care.
