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.
