From Tuesday, the union said, paramedics will judge whether a patient is stable after arriving at a hospital - and if so, the health workers will get back on the road.
HSU NSW secretary Gerard Hayes said the paramedic workforce was taking the action to promote public health."Paramedics are at their wits' end."They are forced to hang around emergency departments with patients who have constipation, stubbed toes or sunburn all because there simply isn't enough staff to process a handover.Hayes said a collapse in hospital staffing was the root of the problem.
