SA health system alarmed after day where more patients were left waiting for beds than there were beds available

Emergency doctors are sounding the alarm over pressures on the Royal Adelaide Hospital, saying there was a day in September when there were more admitted patients in the emergency department than it has beds - in what could be an Australian first. It's a claim that's disputed by SA Health, but the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine says it has information from doctors who were working at the time.
