Ms ROSOL – I’m going back to the topic I was discussing before. A root cause analysis on Anne Pedler’s death had a recommendation to consider feasibility of on‑site services 24/7 and the department accepted that recommendation and said it would be done within a year. That timeframe’s long since passed and earlier you confirmed that the department accepted all the recommendations of the RCA, so was that feasibility study completed?
Mr WEBSTER – Yes, it was, and I will repeat we do have 24/7 services available at the LGH. So, in fact, if you compare –
Ms ROSOL – I am talking about on site, a staff member on site.
Mr WEBSTER – They are on site. We don’t do it off site. Someone comes in to the hospital to do it.
Ms ROSOL – Available on site.
Mr WEBSTER – It is 24/7. In a number of cases, it’s quicker than what you would get in a nine-to-five window because in a nine-to-five window we have medical imaging that is booked and those sorts of things, so, you’re moving things around to fit in emergency patients, whereas in after hours you’ve got a 15-minute call in. As the minister said, or I may have said last time, we’ve doubled our capacity of our cath labs in recent weeks. We’ve moved to two cath labs at LGH.
Ms ROSOL – You’re confirming you did do a feasibility study? What was the recommendation from it if it was completed? I think there was a report that was supposed to be outlining the feasibility of it.
Mr WEBSTER – Our management looked at the feasibility of it. We didn’t do a study.
