Report contradicts contentions that no doctor was available to help Northam boy (ABC.net.au)

Posted 19 December 2010 13: 33: 00

A Department of health report found a doctor in the Department emergency when a patient teen, who died later presented to Northam hospital.

Was believed until now, is there no 16 years old only available when doctor Andrew Allan arrived at the hospital in September.

Mr. Allen died after having sent home from the hospital by a nurse in September.

A report from the Department found nurse failed to recognize the seriousness of Mr. Allan and has requested - nor qualified - summer yard functions.

The nurse has declined to tell his version of the facts and was dismissed.
