No beds available...24 hour wait in the ER is a long time...BD

THOUSANDS of Victorians are waiting more than 24 hours in some cases longer than five days on an emergency department trolley before the hospital can find them a bed. New figures obtained by The Age reveal that a lack of beds is creating a logjam across the public system, with 2700 patients waiting longer than a day in emergency in the past financial year. The Brumby Government's own target says that no patient should spend longer than 24 hours in emergency before being admitted to a ward.
