Subscriber only LUCAS S Law could be implemented across the state, with Queensland Health to consider the recommendations handed down in the wake of Lucas Faram s death. On Wednesday, Townsville University Hospital released the recommendations from a report that found Lucas would still be alive if doctors had treated him appropriately. The report, compiled by Townsville University Hospital, found that if a CT scan was completed earlier, it would have shown Lucas s ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was not working. State Health Minister Yvette D Ath yesterday said she was aware of the recommendations from the internal review. Now Clinical Excellence Queensland, a body within Queensland Health that works with health services, clinicians, and consumers to deliver improvements in patient care, will consider them.
