Chemotherapy Treatment Error

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:38): Supplementary: with all due respect to Mr Knox, does the minister accept that the Coroner attributed four deaths to that chemo bungle and recommended a royal commission as a result?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:39): I will certainly take that on notice. That is not my recollection on either count. I will certainly check the Coroner's report in that case. There were a number of recommendations, but I don't recall him specifically recommending a royal commission.

The Hon. C. Bonaros: Supplementary.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Sorry, just to clarify, Ms Bonaros, I am assuming that you were saying that the Deputy Coroner recommended that rather than Mr Knox?

The Hon. C. BONAROS: That's correct.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bonaros, a supplementary.
