❓ Ms McHale asks the Minister for Health if the Ernst and Young audit of trust accounts at Princess Margaret Hospital has been provided to the AMA. Mr Day responds that it has not, as direct discussion with the doctors is preferred to ensure due process and natural justice.

QuestionView source ↗
(1) Has the minister provided a copy of the Ernst and Young audit of trust accounts at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children to the Australian Medical Association so that doctors are at least aware of the allegations that have been made against them? (2) If not, why not? Mr DAY
AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(2) No. I have not provided the Australian Medical Association with a copy of the reports that have so far been prepared. To the best of my knowledge, the Metropolitan Health Service Board, which has direct responsibility for those reports, also has not provided a copy to the AMA, and, in my view, nor should it. It would not be appropriate to do so. Dr Gallop: Why? Mr DAY: It would be appropriate to discuss the issues with the doctors concerned at the right time. Dr Gallop: What about a bit of natural justice in this world? Don’t you believe in that? Mr Court: You’d know about that! Dr Gallop: Would we? Mr DAY: It may be appropriate to discuss the issues with the doctors concerned in the same way as the process being followed in the audit of theatre usage at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children. Just last week the Opposition was criticising the Government and its agencies for not doing enough about these issues. A draft report has been prepared on the theatre audit process. The Metropolitan Health Service Board and I have made it clear that the draft needs to be discussed with the doctors concerned. Due process will be followed and natural justice will be observed. To provide a copy to the AMA is not necessarily the most appropriate way to go about things.
