Demand for ambulances in Victoria has surpassed the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the parents of a young child forced to drive her to hospital because the nearest ambulance was too far away. The incident, involving a four-year-old girl, unfolded in Melbourne in the early hours of Monday after a weekend when ambulance services were stretched to the limit.
” North said Ambulance Victoria had conflicting reports about how close an ambulance was to the family, who reported it as 50km away, at the time of the call. “My understanding is there was an ambulance closer than 50km,” she said. “We’re trying to understand that detail, as to how that information was provided to them because we don’t believe that’s correct.” Victorian Ambulance Union boss Danny Hill said the incident was a symptom of greater issues facing the system.
