Dandenong Hospital has had to re-open its COVID-19 ward.
"3AW Breakfast was tipped off to a late rumour on the program yesterday regarding hospital wards re-opening their COVID-19 wards, with Dandenong Hospital confirmed to have done that very thing."

I know of one who is reaching out and making further enquiries
Not confined to one state
Increasing COVID burden, pressure to reduce waiting lists and decreased funding are a terrible combination in a system already past breaking
Public hospital CEOs had to present a plan to govt last week spelling out how they will save money over the next 3 years. You can't squeeze the system any more & not expect significant failure. Workforce shortages & increased demand with decreasing funds means severe impact on access to healthcare.
I have no idea how this will play out but the cuts are coming strong & fast however there is nothing sustainable about this approach. The benchmark for healthcare will hit a new rock bottom low.
VICs beware that hospital budgets have been cut 2 the bone. No idea how the health system will keep functioning. Give it another 8 weeks & HCWs will b @ breaking point due 2 exhaustion from being so under-resourced/over worked. VICs will need 2 lower expectations re healthcare 😢

Dr Peter Hilton blaming female medics for the culture of sexual harrasament reported as endemic across the NHS.
haven’t stopped thinking about that Tim Gurner (Gerner?) video - like if that’s what these people are saying out loud, what in the name of all that is good and holy is being said and planned behind closed doors???
jesus fuck this whole system’s gotta go
Hello! Another Twitter refugee hoping to find likeminded, Covid aware, souls who also believe that our health systems are deserving of proper investment for the benefit of HCWs & patients alike 👋
