The demand for emergency services and healthcare in NSW is continuing to grow, but governments can’t keep up.
The latest Bureau of Health Information found that visits to emergency departments were at a new record, up 3.4% to 749,504 for the October to December 2018 Quarter, compared to the same time last year.
The Australian Medical Association’s NSW president Dr Kean-Seng Lim, a GP has sounded the alarm for the need of more adequate resources.
Dr Lim says We need to work on better integration of primary and hospital care and improve access to healthcare in the community.
