Doctors asked to not ‘waste’ IV fluids, despite supplies improving
Mark Butler says supplies have been secured but the nation isn’t clear of problems yet.
Doctors are still being asked to gatekeep hospital IV fluids, as it emerges that the additional supplies secured by the Federal Government may be less than publicised.
Last month, Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler announced the government had secured an additional 22 million bags of IV fluids for the next six months, amid a global shortage.
