Acute beds for the elderly halve over 30 years
The AMA is calling on the Federal Government to increase public hospital capacity and funding for GPs
The number of beds available for the over 65s in Australia’s public hospitals has halved in the past 30 years, the AMA is warning.
The body is calling for a rethink on funding for hospitals which it says are in “crisis” and increased investment in GP care to help keep patients out of hospital.
