(1) When the root
cause analysis report was handed down, an implementation team was put together
at the hospital to implement the recommendations that came from the root cause
analysis. That same team will take up the responsibility for implementing the
30 recommendations from the PCH inquiry report.
(2) With regard to staffing matters, it is for the
record now that the inquiry authors commended the hospital for having
implemented a range of staffing initiatives in relation to the emergency
department, so I commend the report to the member.
