PERTH CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL — AISHWARYA ASWATH
527. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Given that important business has been managed during the pandemic with the outstanding border arrangements, my understanding
is that Zoom meetings have been undertaken, so I wonder why it is taking
so long. How can the minister expect to fix the health crisis in Perth Children's
Hospital if he cannot even deliver on this very important promise of a timely
investigation into this tragedy?

I have come across second reading speeches
that were shorter than that supplementary! I will just say that I am not going
to put pressure on the investigators to come to conclusions ahead of the good
and proper investigation into a very serious issue.
