SIR CHARLES GAIRDNER HOSPITAL — MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY RATES — LEAKED DOCUMENTS
As a supplementary question, is it acceptable that after nine months of investigation Dr Shehatha and his many patients still do not have any clear answers on this matter? Dr K.D. HAMES

AnswerView source ↗

Investigations of conduct and the performance of members of the profession are undertaken independently of me. It is totally inappropriate for me to involve myself in any way with the proper investigations of the performance of staff within our hospitals, and I will not do it.
