Please note: These bed figures are provided as at 3 June 2005 from the Acute Demand Management Unit. Bed numbers provided include all multiday beds. No sameday beds are included. There are definitional issues around counting bed numbers. The most commonly used bed number is the multi-day active bed which excludes beds that are temporarily closed (eg. renovations) and excludes beds solely for the use of day only cases (eg. chemotherapy, renal dialysis, same day surgery). More comprehensive bed capacity figures, as outlined in the Clinical Services Consultation 2005 will include all multi-day and sameday beds, as well as beds contracted at other facilities, resulting in a higher capacity figure. For example, bed numbers previously provided and outlined in the Clinical Services Consultation 2005 indicate 708 beds exist at RPH Wellington Street, however figures quoted in the above table indicate only 559 beds. The Clinical Services Consultation bed numbers were captured in November 2004 compared to numbers provided in this response are June 2005 - seven months on. The reasons for this difference of 149 beds at RPH can be accounted for due to: · 36 mental health and rehabilitation beds contracted at Mercy Hospital · 65 sameday beds/chairs · 14 dialysis chairs · 28 beds on 10A ward closed for renovation · 6 bed variation due to point in time changes in beds being available.
