The Liberals’ Jeremy Hanson is taking an interesting tack on the Public Accounts Committee report into the health statistics scandal:
“The report has revealed a number of recommendations including that the government needs to review the adequacy of controls of IT systems and security of patient records,” Mr Hanson said today.
“The fact that the Committee has also recommended that the government should conduct a review into the organisational culture at The Canberra Hospital does confirm the sick culture that forced the executive to alter the data in the first place.
“On top of this advice the Committee has recommended that the Government should issue a public apology for failing to protect the privacy of the executive that altered that emergency department data.
