"The Brumby Government has funded a $321.5 million beds package to treat up to 63,000 extra patients in Victoria's public hospitals alongside a new Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) with doctors to deliver better healthcare to Victorians. Health Minister Daniel Andrews said the package would improve bed access and patient flows with a balanced investment of acute, sub-acute and critical care beds, plus targeted funding to keep people out of emergency departments."
