so if the state government rationalises services to a single operator
how long do people think it will take before cost cuts/ elections/ policy changes &/or budget reallocation will result in a reduction of services to regional areas that are now financing their own community based EMS through necessity (already a lack of state services).
once these community based services are gone, will they ever have the opportunity to resurface, if/when services degrade warranting such action.
only when (more) lives are needlessly lost.
