The hospital wanted to remind the public that they treat their sickest patients first, and that all available beds in the hospital are in use but regrettably patients are facing long waiting times to be admitted from the Emergency Department to a bed on a ward.
They concluded by saying they continue to request that people consider other options for non-emergency care such as Out of Hours GP and pharmacies before attending an ED.
