Breaking records not only an Olympic thing!
Ramping has rocketed to a grim new high of 5539 hours lost in July – the first time it has broken the 5000 hours mark and smashing May’s record of 4773 hours.
The May figure was the first and only time it had topped 4500 hours. There had only been two other months prior to that above 4000 hours.
It also comes despite the code yellow internal emergency declared by SA Health on May 30 which has seen almost 900 elective surgery procedures cancelled to free up ward beds and try to ease pressure on chronically full emergency departments which then leads to ramping.
At midday on Friday as the ramping figures for July were being released, most EDs were near or above official capacity, such as Lyell McEwin Hospital clinicians treating 63 people in their 59-capacity ED.
At the Royal Adelaide Hospital where clinicians were treating 64 people in the 69-capacity ED, there were six people who had been stuck in the ED for more than 24 hours waiting for a suitable ward bed and 14 patients waiting 12-24 hours.
The 5539 hours lost to ramping for July follows 3798 hours of paramedics with patients in ambulances stuck in hospital car parks in June.
The highest level of ramping under the former Liberal government was 2867 hours in October 2021 while under Labor it has been above 3000 hours every month since the March 2022 election bar four.
Health Minister Chris Picton partly blamed the federal government for lack of aged care places while the “horrified” Ambulance Employees Association (AEU) partly blamed SA Health.

Time lost to ambulance ramping in SA soars to record 5539 hours during July

Shouldn't have promised what wasn't they couldn't deliver... not understanding what the issues are!
Did some recent analysis of the maintenance care patients by ward across the SA health system... which has been presented to the higher ups.
There are are a record number of maintenance patients across the system, particularly long-term patients waiting on suitable placement... clogging up acute wards.
Only SALHN is doing well having outsourced most to a private operator to free up beds. The RAH has all their major wards with significant number of maintenance patients. I have suggested it would be more appropriate to transfer them to another facility. Eg. Open up the old Calvary site.
This is a major factor for the bed block, particularly in winter with high respiratory illnesses.
This along with lack of mental health beds is the major issues to address.
Putting on more paramedics was never going to address the actual issues!

When will people wake up to Chris Bowen's bullshit!!
The twerp Bowen has ****ed up every portfolio he's ever got his grubby little hands on.
Energy prices will be the key to what is shaping up as a cost-of-living federal election, with nuclear power proponents eager to highlight overseas examples where electricity costs are less than half of Australian rates.
The Albanese Government has pushed back on the Coalition’s plans to build seven nuclear power plants in Australia due to the capital costs and 15-year build time, but experts on the technology have argued Labor cannot ignore current price differences to households abroad.
Former Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation boss Adi Paterson said France, where nuclear makes up 66 per cent of the grid, French households paid 31 euros per megawatt hour or $49 Australian dollars as of July 11.
On the same day, the Australian system which relied on coal for 51 per cent of energy and 33 per cent from solar, households paid $105 per megawatt hour.
Dr Paterson said a US research paper comparing the cost to consumers of different energy sources showed the cost per megawatt hour for solar power went up by 40 times if the grid relied entirely on solar.
The same research — which analysed the grid in Germany and Texas because they had high levels of data available — showed if the grid was run entirely on wind power, the cost would go up 15 times.
Dr Paterson said the longer lifespan of a nuclear power plant offset would help to offset upfront capital costs compared to wind and solar.
“Nuclear power plants in France today will operate for at least 60 years and they are working with regulators to see if they can extend them for 80 years,” he said.
“By contrast, solar panels are guaranteed for 10 years and you can stretch them for 20 to 30 years but after that they are toast.”
Former CEO of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation Adi Paterson said Australians pay twice as much as households in France where nuclear makes up 66 per cent of the grid. Picture: AAP
Energy and cost of living are expected to become central issues of the next federal election, due by May 2025, with the Coalition confident its bold pitch to bring nuclear power to Australia will be a vote winner.
About 82 per cent of Australians are “concerned” about power prices, with more than 45 per cent “very concerned,” according to a Nielsen survey released in July.
Dr Paterson said the longer lifespan of a nuclear power plant offset would help to offset upfront capital costs compared to wind and solar.
The researchers also found more than 13 per cent of Australians have switched energy providers in the last year in an attempt to lower their bill.
Despite Labor’s election promise to deliver a $275 average saving on bills by next year based on 2021 prices, the cost for Australians has continued to rise even with Commonwealth subsidies for low-income households and small businesses.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton said the Coalition would announce further details of its plan to deliver seven nuclear plants, the first to be built by 2037, “in due course”.
“One thing is for sure: we are on an energy trainwreck under the Albanese Government - and only the Coalition can get us get back on track,” he said.
“That includes embracing zero emissions nuclear energy to set our country up for decades to come.”
Mr Dutton said under Labor, 90 per cent of Australia’s current baseload power would be “forced out of the system”.
“We want Australia to be a country where our grid works 24/7 and is not reliant on the whims of the weather,” he said.
But Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen has repeatedly pointed to comprehensive analysis in the CSIRO’s Gencost report, which found by 2030 electricity from a combination of solar and wind would be between $73 and $128 a megawatt hour.
This compared with large-scale nuclear at $141 to $233/MWh and $230 to $382/MWh for small modular reactors.
Speaking at the National Press Club last month Mr Bowen also ridiculed the Coalition’s attempt to sell nuclear as an immediate solution to the cost-of-living crisis when the first reactor was more than a decade away.
“Cost of living ... has to be the priority,” he said.
“But it’s not a priority if you’re saying we might give you cheaper power prices in 2040 when a nuclear power plant comes on.
“That is not a sensible response or reaction.”
The twerp Bowen has ****ed up every portfolio he's ever got his grubby little hands on.

Nuclear energy nations pay half as much as Australians on power bills
In countries where nuclear energy is powering the majority of their grid, households are saving a motza on power bills.

THE HIDDEN COSTS OF DIFFERENT ENERGY SOURCES:
How will it impact the cost of electricity if the grid is based on the following energy sources?- Coal: $78USD per megawatt hour in Germany and $90USD in Texas
- Nuclear: $105 USD per megawatt hour in Germany and $122 USD in Texas
- Solar: $1,380 USD per megawatt hour in Germany and $413 USD in Texas
- Wind: $483 USD per megawatt hour in Germany and $291 USD in Texas
- Wind + Solar: $442 USD per megawatt hour in Germany and $225 USD in Texas
The report bases its modelling on the grid in two markets, German and Texas*
- Life of nuclear power plants: 60-80 years
- Life of solar power plants: 10-30 years
- Life of wind turbines: 15-30 years

Yes, because if there is a recession then banks will have increased write-offs.
You’ve been around long enough to understand the markets go up and go down but the overall trajectory over time is up.
If you try and get the in at bottom or out at the top, you won’t have a successful strategy.

The energy sector was a total mess long before Bowen
This was from an article back in 2017
Australian residential customers are paying the highest electricity prices in the world - two to three times more than American households
https://www.afr.com/politics/australian-households-pay-highest-power-prices-in-world-20170804-gxp58a
Articles like this are nothing more than a puff piece trying to fool people by implying that nuclear will lower prices.
There's no magic solution and even if Australia went nuclear, it's not going to make much difference(if any) to the price.
It's the energy market in Australia that's the problem, privatisation has destroyed the market and it's almost impossible to now get the genie back in the bottle.
I don't have an issue with nuclear, but it's not a silver bullet. It's just an alternative option, but it's one that's now arguably about 15-20 years too late.

That doesn’t seem to be the case innAustralia, real estate just keeps on going up.
An interesting point someone made yesterday (forgot who) is government after government (of both persuasions) only seem to deal with demand side and don’t bother to address the supply side. For example, first home owners grant etc and all the builders do is increase the cost by the amount of the grant.
Another one of those brain farts by Dutton and Coalition is letting people access their super - maximum is $50k and is limited to 40% of your super balance. Now for those men aged between 30-39 only have between $56k-$95k in super and for women the amounts are even lower.
