Victoria的Thomas Embling医院面临裁员, 延误病人护理, 监狱心理健康危机恶化, Victoria’s Thomas Embling Hospital faces staff cuts, delaying patient care and worsening mental health crisis in prisons.

Victoria的Thomas Embling医院是囚犯的法医精神保健设施,其人员裁减减少了专家的作用,引起了对病人安全和护理的担忧。 Victoria’s Thomas Embling Hospital, a forensic mental health facility for prisoners, faces staffing cuts that have reduced specialist roles, raising concerns about patient safety and care. 男性安全病人的出院率仍然远远低于80%的目标,而那些接到拘留监督令的人平均要等371天才能睡床,而且常常呆在监狱里。 Discharge rates for male security patients remain far below the 80% target, and those on custodial supervision orders wait an average of 371 days for a bed, often staying in prison. 尽管计划扩大82张床位以满足皇家委员会的建议,但卫生专业人员和工会警告说,工作人员短缺危及护理工作,监狱越来越多地成为事实上的精神保健提供者。 Despite a planned expansion of 82 beds to meet a royal commission recommendation, health professionals and unions warn that staff shortages jeopardize care, with prisons increasingly serving as de facto mental health providers. 卫生部说,劳动力的变动将第一线服务和工作人员的安全放在优先地位。 The Department of Health says workforce changes prioritize frontline services and staff safety.
