NSW: Health whistleblowers to get parliamentary protection
A new committee's been set up allowing doctors and nurses to give frank and protected
evidence about problems in New South Wales hospitals.
The NSW upper house's General Purpose Standing Committee 2, chaired by Christian Democrat
MLC GORDON MOYES, will hold an inquiry early next year into complaints handling procedures
in the NSW health system.
It follows the controversy unleashed by a damning report into substandard care at Campbelltown
and Camden hospitals in Sydney's south-west which led to the deaths of 19 patients.
