But to do voice-verified

Yes, exactly. voice-verified

So what we're saying is there needs to be way more support from the department to these services. voice-verified

And so, for example, in New South Wales, there's a portal that clinicians across the state can access, which provides them with information about how they're tracking against their peers. voice-verified

how they're tracking against the state average. voice-verified

We don't have that in Victoria. voice-verified

And so we need to be providing more support to the clinicians in our hospitals, big and small, to help them address these important issues. voice-verified

Well, I think we're not as good. voice-verified

I think some states are better than others in tracking what's going wrong and in trying to identify the issues. voice-verified

When I was in Queensland, this was one of the things we wanted to err on identifying things early. voice-verified

And so we probably over-investigated just to make sure that Bundaberg would never happen again or reduce to a small risk that Bundaberg happened again. voice-verified

We haven't had that same focus in Victoria and I think that's what we need. voice-verified

There are some national issues that we raise. voice-verified

So, for example, there needs to be better sharing of information between the registration regulation bodies and the health services because... voice-verified

You know, we know that if a person, a doctor, for example, has complaints against him or her, they're more likely to have complaints against them in the future. voice-verified

But we don't get that information. voice-verified

It's secret squirrel business in the regulator. voice-verified

And so we need to have much more sharing of information. voice-verified

So there's some national issues that we touch on in that report. voice-verified

On the health department website. voice-verified
