Doctors, nurses, paramedics, GPs and health leaders are meeting in Adelaide in a bid to stop ambulance ramping at the city’s public hospitals.
The Ambulance Employees Association says the situation has been so bad that the availability of ambulances across the metropolitan area has been severely restricted.
However, Central Adelaide Local Health Network chief executive Lesley Dwyer says that ramping is not the cause of the problem, but is rather a symptom of a system that is not working properly, and that all staff need to be part of the solution.
