Brisbane hospitals are dealing with an escalating beds crisis, with more than 500 ambulance patients left on stretchers in hallways last month.

Under the rapid offload policy, 524 patients were offloaded at four Metro South emergency facilities, including Logan Hospital.

These reports come in wake of last week’s standoff between Logan E.D nurses and paramedics over rapid offloads, which allow paramedics to park patients on temporary trolleys, while they await an Emergency bed and get back on the road.
