WA Premier Mark McGowan has refused to criticise a move to refer to the medical regulator two nurses and a doctor who worked in the Perth Childrenâs Hospital emergency department the night Aishwarya Aswath died.
Reports that the three staff will be referred to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency for their actions on April 3 have incensed the doctorsâ and nursesâ unions, which say the government has been shifting blame to individuals but shirking responsibility for health systemic and resourcing issues.

A similar system will now be brought in because another child, seven-year-old Aishwarya Aswath, died in similar harrowing circumstances on Easter Saturday this year. It brought back raw memories. It brought back memories of Malakai. So yeah, I feel for the family, Ms Brown said. I know what they would have been going through.
The tragedy of Malakai s death unfolded across five days in 2016. On Monday, August 22, the seven-month-old became unwell and his parents took him to Midland Hospital. They went home after being told he was teething.
On Tuesday an ambulance took him to Princess Margaret Hospital after a high heart rate and vomiting but he was sent home with Panadol.Â

Child and Adolescent Health Service chief executive Aresh Anwarâs resignation was not accepted by the boss of the Health Department because it would be too destabilising.
A report into the circumstances surrounding the death of seven-year-old Aishwarya Aswath in Perth Childrenâs Hospital on April 3 found multiple staffing, equipment and policy failures could have contributed to her death.
CAHS chief executive Aresh Anwar said his resignation offer was rejected by WA Health director-general David Russell-Weisz.

The parents of Aishwarya Aswath have described a report into their daughter’s death at Perth Children’s Hospital as “inconsistent” and have renewed calls for a full independent inquiry.
Aishwarya died on Easter Saturday of sepsis from a bacterial infection related to group A streptococcus, despite her parents begging to see a doctor at the hospital’s emergency department for nearly two hours.
The WA Child and Adolescent Health Services (CAHS), which operates Perth Children’s Hospital, spent six weeks conducting a review of the circumstances of Aishwarya’s treatment and death, before providing its report to the family on Wednesday.
