Sorry raider, but cook has a case to answer. There were problems for years at the previous children's hospital and these have been passed on to the new one. Management has had systemic problems with staff morale for years. They are very self centred and very unresponsive to concerns from medical and nursing staff. These sorts of morale problems always bleed into poorer patient outcomes. Now this started with the previous liberal government so none of this is new . Starting from the 2017 junior doctors furore , cook and the alp government should have had a handle on this. The ED staff is pretty good , but poor staffing levels , terrible morale make this sort of incident more likely. As minister, he had to have had warnings on this. Cook's initial response , which was the classic ducking and diving over responsibility is why he deserves to go , as well as allowing the obvious dysfunction to persist Now pints is a right wing crackpot , note the ludicrous ccp virus crack, but even weirdos like him get some things right. Cook , the board and a swathe of the bureaucracy at the hospital needs to go. Time an administrator from outside (in much the same way Stokes was used in the past ) was appointed. The Northam hospital incident was very different from this one , by the way.

boomer, last things first, I disagree, the result of death was the same. Steps as a consequence of Allans death ,should have been implemented, so as this wouldn't happen again. WA labor took to the election a policy of 400 more nurses. What's really pissing the nurses union off is the no pay raises. Professionals, whatever their pay, should work accordingly. Sadly 3 nurses and one doctor ,it would seem, didnt. Raider .
