The coroner's concerns
1. excessive patient volume causing treatment delays
“staffing levels within the Emergency Department were such that the doctors simply could not cope with the volume of work, thus leading to inordinate delays in treating the patients”
2. minor complaints overwhelming ED resources
“numerous patients at the Emergency Department with what can only be described as minor or trivial complaints”
3. lack of primary care integration with ED
“Primary care facility staffed by GP's within or immediately adjacent to the ED”
