More than 200 doctors sign a letter to the chief executive officer of Adelaide's Women's and Children's Hospital calling for urgent help to improve staffing levels and resourcing at the site.
Paediatric doctors are being reduced"to tears" and quitting at"the peak of their careers" over chronic under-resourcing at Adelaide's Women's and Children's Hospital, South Australia's salaried doctors union has said.
"You're looking at about half of the workforce, if not more, who have signed off on the letter," Ms Mulholland said. "Many of the services have been run down to the point where they haven't got enough staffing to provide timely services and care." "Just last week we got a call from a group of doctors who said 'we can't do this any more — help us or we're resigning'," she said.
