The Ambulance Employees’ Association (AEA) will hold a media conference today at 1130 at the union’s offices, 13 Hindmarsh Place, Hindmarsh to talk about the past two days disastrous levels of ramping.
The situation at the RAH is appalling and the ED overcrowding and ramping is impacting on the whole state. Ramping is a glaring and avoidable high risk result of Emergency Department (ED) overcrowding; and it must be stopped.
Ramping was at epic proportions on Wednesday and Thursday this week. On Thursday around 31 ambulance were ramped at the RAH and FMC. 20 at the RAH, 11 at FMC.
Ambulance Union Again Alarmed at Worst Ramping Ever
