Gynaecologists refuse to provide non-critical care until hospital’s ‘dangerously’ low staffing is fixed
Dr Kelly Hankins is one of nine doctors demanding more staff as 'close calls' increase.
O&Gs say they are so concerned about “dangerously” low staffing levels they have refused to provide non-urgent gynaecological treatments.
The nine doctors work at Gosford Hospital and Wyong Hospital in NSW and have told colleagues they are stopping all elective, non-life-threatening gynaecological care, restricting their services to critical care until more staff are hired.
