2019-07-08 | Four extremely obese patients are stranded in hospital because there is no facility to care for them | Daily Mail Online

'The management of high-needs obese patients has sparked calls for community care centers to catch up with the hospital and provide for the complicated needs of local patients. '

'Four extremely obese patients have been stuck in one hospital for months after their initial treatment is complete because there are no other facilities capable of looking after them. '

'Middlemore has a particularly large population of obese people, which has turned into the main facility for treatment of larger patients. ', "And the costly expenses are standing in the way of these patients exiting Middlemore, as many private institutions simply don't have the means to care for morbidly obese patients with additional medical needs.", "One patient was stranded in Auckland's Middlemore Hospital for more than eight months, because no other centre could accommodate his size and complicated medical conditions."
