ZitatThe NSW Ambulance Service is trialling the hospital refusal on the Central Coast, following a landmark Auditor General?s report that found paramedics should be able to refuse transport to patients that need a band-aid, not a hospital bed.
Currently paramedics cannot refuse to transport a patient to hospital if they insist on going.
The Auditor Generla?s report found that too often, paramedics were forced to take people to hospital regardless of how minor their condition was.
