00:0080 patients like Ashley have now spent less time in hospitals and more time at this hotel.
00:09It's a perfect spot for I think the transition that I'm into at the moment.
00:14For the past two months rooms at Pullman Adelaide have been used by patients who don't need acute care as part of a plan to free up hospital beds.
00:22It's good for the patient, it's good for the health system overall and of course good for the budget too.
00:27While there have been such investments, ambulances spent 3,700 hours ramped last month down from 4,134 the month before.
00:38It's a drop but it's still a thousand hours up from when Labor took office in March 2022.
00:44There is 10 months left to the next election and it doesn't look like Peter Malinowskis' key promise to end the ramping crisis is going to end anytime soon.
00:53Despite its confidence investments are helping, the government says too many beds are tied up by patients who should be in aged care.
01:00Unless we see issues in aged care addressed they're just going to all get taken up by patients who are waiting for aged care.
01:06To address these critical issues the Australian Medical Association has held a round table in Adelaide.
01:12We need to be thinking of our whole healthcare system, investing appropriately and making sure we're meeting the needs of Australians today and into the future.
01:21It won't all be solved in one day but we really hope we'll agree on some clear direction.
01:26An early outcome, the state government has backed a pilot program to increase information sharing between GPs and aged care facilities.
01:35We're just going to be THE GPs and themaknael that.
01:38We've been on off so far.
01:39We've got a few videos and we're going to see who stay on at the right.
01:41We've started in the right now.
01:42We're waiting to get the end of the right now.
01:44We've got a lot of folks' tactic.
01:46We've got a lot of people who will agree on their own personal effects.
01:47We've got a lot of people who are waiting for us.
01:49We've got some basic questions and we've got a lot of people who do.
01:51We've got a lot of the things that we've made for our daily hours.
01:53We've got a lot of people who do and we've got a lot of people who are waiting for.
