PERTH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL — AISHWARYA
ASWATH
62. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Given that engaging in healing dialogue with the family is a key recommendation
of the inquiry, why did the parents say otherwise to me on Sunday regarding
that meeting?
Several members interjected.
Ms A.
SANDERSON replied:
Is that even in order, Deputy
Speaker?
The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Member,
the question is a hypothetical sort of question, asking the minister to give an
answer to something she was not party to the conversation about. But I will
give the minister the opportunity to respond, if she would like.
Ms A. SANDERSON: Deputy
Speaker, I do not intend to respond any further about private conversations had
with that family. It is inappropriate for any side of the chamber to use it in
Parliament and it reflects very poorly on the member for Vasse.
