In responding to , ACEM wants to make it unequivocally clear that emergency departments (EDs) in Victoria never turn away people in need.
ACEM Victorian Chair Dr Mya Cubitt said, “Healthcare workers in emergency departments work extremely hard every day, managing significant access block and increased demand, to provide emergency care to Victorians. Medical emergencies are always prioritised and no one in need is turned away.”
“I invite Mr Guy to visit an emergency department to learn about what emergency clinicians do, and how governments can support EDs to deliver the best possible care to people in Victoria.”
ACEM will be reaching out to Matthew Guy’s office to discuss the matter.
