“If we need to increase the number of children we're moving we're probably at the capacity of what we can offer with the service that we've currently got. But it's not just about the transport, it's about the beds that they go into and also when they're discharged from paediatric ICU, where do they go to next?”
What Michael Griksaitis has said
“We dispatch to go and help the child whether there is a bed or not because actually it is irrelevant. The child still needs critical care, so bed or not the transport team would go out.”
