NEPT is essential. It safely transports patients who still need clinical support but don’t require an emergency ambulance. If it’s privatised further, we’ll see: ❌ Loss of experienced NEPT staff ❌ More pressure on emergency ambulances ❌ Longer wait times for vulnerable patients ❌ Reduced accountability and inconsistent care ❌ More strain on an already struggling health system Privatisation might look like a cost‑saving measure, but the real cost will be paid by patients and frontline workers. Victoria deserves a safe, reliable, publicly accountable NEPT system. 👉
