We’ll be discussing bed shortages, staff shortages and waiting times in emergency departments. Are regional and rural hospitals going to be winners or losers with the health reforms? We’ll hear from patients who are waiting for elective surgery, and others who have recently had emergency surgery. What do they feel about their experiences in the hospital system?
