This. There is more time wasted with the ambulance crews having to wait hours for the drunks and the druggies to be admitted and be their babysitters. The hospitals should have to be responsible for the patients brought in with a minimal turn around time for the ambulance crews to inform the hospital of the vitals etc. and then get them back out on the streets where they belong.
