21 days ago by 𝙈𝙞𝙖 to c/australia

A $50 million expansion of Victoria's main children's hospital is nearing completion, but sources say 20 new beds will not be operational because no funding has been provided for extra staff.

In short:

Staffing issues are threatening to undermine a $50 million dollar expansion of Victoria's largest children's hospital.

Twenty new emergency beds at the Royal Children's Hospital will not be able to take patients because no funding was provided to staff them.

What's next?

It is understood one solution being explored is transferring staff from other areas of the hospital.
