UP to 700 patients could be locked out of the Royal Melbourne Hospital, which will close beds next year due to federal government budget cuts.
Victorian hospital chiefs have been holding emergency meetings to work out what services could be cut in a co-ordinated fashion across the state, The Age says.
It says that while hospitals always scale back services over the Christmas-New Year holidays, they were now considering closing beds and operating theatres until mid-year.
Royal Melbourne executive director Diane Gill told the newspaper that she initially planned to close an operating theatre and 45 beds from the end of this week under regular holiday closures.
The beds were due to reopen on January 14 but will now stay closed until February 4.
The hospital is also considering closing a 25-bed ward from February 4 until the end of June.
The paper says the closures would effectively cut 700 operations.
