Scandal At Eastern Health Not An Accident (con't.)

Yesterday I invited comments on recommendations I put forward on behalf of the Members of the Breast Cancer Testing Class Action.  I listed the recommendations in our Submission in chief.  We made some further recommendations in the Reply Submission.  Comment on these would be greatly appreciated as well.  

Further Recommendations:

(1)        That Eastern Health conduct an appropriate random sample of positive results.

(2)        That Eastern Health and other healthcare boards adopt a rigorous system of in-service instruction at all levels and follow up quality assurance to ensure that any reporting system as recommended by the Task Force be implemented and fully functioning.

(3)        That the Government consider providing proposed legislative amendments to counsel for the parties to the Inquiry for comment with a view to possible improvement.
