THE NSW Government will invest $480.7M to ease pressure on NSW hospitals by reducing emergency department visits and improving patient flow. The funding will expand Healthdirect services, creating virtual consultation options and urgent care clinics to divert non-critical cases from EDs. Additionally, expanding Emergency Department Short Stay Units and Hospital in the Home programs will help manage patient flow, reducing wait times and enhancing care quality. This aims to address record ambulance responses and severe patient cases.
