A grieving Western Sydney father rejects the findings of an internal probe into the treatment of his daughter, which relies on a document that can not be found.
The serious adverse event review conducted after her death also mentions the reference to the form, but said, "the SAER team was unable to locate this document".
"If the hospital can't produce the form that they claim that she signed, then that's a significant problem for the hospital, even though there's a reference to it in the medical record," she said.Medical negligence lawyer Ngaire Watson says the hospital needs to produce the form. In response to an earlier ABC story, the Western Sydney Local Health District apologised that visitor exemptions were not explained to the family.An interpreter is referenced several times in the records for Ms Ali's second admission.
"So that would also raise further legal issues about whether that form was understood by her, and if there was no interpreter involved in the process, then it is highly problematic."
