‘A genuine moment of crisis’: Mental health patients wait days in emergency wards We’re sorry, this service is currently unavailable. Please try again later. Dismiss Save Normal text size Advertisement Suicidal and psychotic patients spent days waiting in Melbourne emergency department cubicles this week as a shortage of mental health beds was exacerbated by the forced lock down of psychiatric wards at three hospitals. There were 129 beds temporarily closed to new admissions at The Alfred, the Northern Hospital in Epping and Broadmeadows Hospital because a mental health worker who had worked in all three health services tested positive to COVID-19 and was linked to the Holiday Inn outbreak.
