“We solemnly commit to the NSW government that we will spare no efforts in achieving the satisfaction levels which Ambulance Victoria has experienced for the last decade.”

    Sad day for the Royal Flying Dr Service.

    Let’s hope the transition is smoother than it was in Victoria. There wasn’t too much customer satisfaction in the first couple of years of that contract.

    Great, off to Singapore taxpayer dollars go.

    Wait till they issue the usual ultimatum… “oh we bid so so low on this contract that we now aren’t able to make a profit on it… we won’t fulfil it unless you pay us more.”
