Victoria hospital delays and hallway patients blamed on bed use
Victoria MLAs Gordon Hanson and Charles Barber released figures showing over 1000 elective surgery lists at Royal Jubilee and more than 1500 awaiting treatment at Victoria General. At Jubilee 84 acute beds hold long term patients while General cancels elective surgery when full. 288 cancellations occurred in the first ten months of 1982 with 38 in November. Night hallway sleep averages run around 30, with 35 yesterday and 41 on a recent night. one heart patient slept eight nights in the elevator area. Some complainants note the situation is the most unhealthy and demoralizing, and opposition quips that those patients would own ski resorts if they could.
