Western Australia’s Royal Flying Doctor Service is being forced to wait with patients in a shed for hours due to emergency department backlogs at Perth’s major hospitals.
In the past week alone, a patient suffering a medical episode had to wait six hours to be transferred to a hospital while a pregnant woman who had been flown in from Kununurra almost gave birth on a stretcher.
Perth ambulance ramping is impacting the service’s ability to transfer regional patients.
