Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 566 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 21 September 2022 by Ms L. Mettam

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

PERTH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL — EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT — RESUSCITATION TEAM

566. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:

I have a supplementary question. Given the ongoing concerns raised during the coronial inquest, why are there still issues regarding the capacity at the Perth Children Hospital's emergency department, and these weasel words?

Ms A. SANDERSON replied:

I have just outlined our clear commitment that we delivered on a request from the ANF and you call that weasel words. That is what you call it. Honestly, grubby does not even begin to describe your ambulance chasing and your shameless exploitation!

Several members interjected.

The SPEAKER: Order, please!

Ms A. SANDERSON: The shameless ambulance chasing and exploitation that occurs from the member for Vasse is embarrassing.

Ms L. Mettam interjected.

Ms A. SANDERSON: You embarrass all of us!

Ms L. Mettam interjected.

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Vasse, you asked the question, please listen to the answer.

Ms A. SANDERSON: The willingness to exploit tragic and difficult circumstances beyond accountability purely for self-promotion is appalling and embarrassing. It brings embarrassment to everyone in this chamber and the community sees right through it.
