No beds in whole of country (J's care update)




Several days in and we're still waiting for an acute care bed in hospital for J (mental health related) ... there are apparently "no beds" in the whole of the country, and a queue of outpatients in front of her. 7+ hours wait in Urgent Care (A&E, EDU at LRI) on Friday night just to see the right professional (Crisis Team) after the CPN couldn't get through on the phone to make a referral in the day. This is when you are already "in the system".
