Story summary

In late October, the ambulance employees union warned of another record month for ambulances being diverted away from Lyell McEwin Hospital due to high patient loads and slow response times for priority two and three patients. The opposition health spokesperson reported a "code white" alert across all metropolitan hospitals in South Australia, indicating that each hospital was operating at or above 125% capacity. This critical situation led the SA government to cite the federal aged care crisis as a contributing factor to the ongoing ramping issues at the state's hospitals.
