An inquiry into the death of a seven-year-old girl at a Perth hospital will examine whether cultural bias or language barriers led to her parents’ pleas for help being ignored.
Seven-year-old Aiswarya Aswath died at Perth Children’s Hospital last Saturday, after she was made to wait two hours to see a doctor.
WA Child and Adolescent Health Services (CAHS), which manages the hospital, is conducting a review of the incident and said it will examine whether the family’s cultural background influenced the care they received.
“All aspects and factors related to a clinical incident will be reviewed, including the cultural and linguistic needs of the family and whether these were related to the clinical incident,” Chief Executive Dr Simon Wood said.
The Outsiders have applied the ‘go woke go broke’ slogan to the Liberal party during the WA election describing the outcome as predictable but a disaster nonetheless.
‘We predicted it would be a disaster,” Sky News host Rowan Dean said.
