Dear Eric

 

Apologies for the delay in replying to you.

 

NSW Ambulance currently has 7 Windows XP machines still in operation. The
support costs for these machines are managed through eHealth NSW.

 

NSW Ambulance is committed to retiring the remaining 7 machines still in
operation.

 

Your sincerely
