So you weren't that kind to the Victorian Health Department?
voice-verified
Well, we're quite strong in our language.
voice-verified
There were these 11 potentially avoidable deaths.
voice-verified
And this is a tragedy.
voice-verified
And I would like to see that we learn from that.
voice-verified
So what do you think the main learnings are from your review?
voice-verified
Well, I think Victoria is right at the forefront of being well regarded as the most efficient state in terms of public hospital provision.
voice-verified
But other states have jumped ahead of Victoria in terms of quality and safety governance.
voice-verified
New South Wales has a much better infrastructure for governance of quality and safety following the Garling Report, I think a decade or so ago.
voice-verified
Queensland, much better systems of tracking and monitoring safety issues following the Patel-Bunderburg tragedy.
voice-verified
South Australia, better incident reporting system.
voice-verified
So other states are going ahead and Victoria hasn't kept up with them.
voice-verified
So what such changes are you suggesting?
voice-verified
Well, we've got a number of them.
voice-verified
There's 180 almost recommendations.
voice-verified
But some of them are these things.
voice-verified
We want more clinical engagement.
voice-verified
The department wasn't using the skills and knowledge of clinicians as much as it ought.
voice-verified
We want more transparency.
voice-verified
We want to be publishing how hospitals are going, public and private, in terms of their safety and quality performance.
