Article in loacal Advertiser referred to the "skin test" going to be used to screen contacts at the Womens and Childrens Hospital (WACH) - patients and staff.
We have not heard the end on this - Govt already under fire for two other controversies at RAH and WACH for dosing errors in oncology treatments. Issues of quality assurance.
No doubt the State Liberal Opposition Party should question methodology for screening staff - particularly foreign doctors. Now the plan to use TST for screening of contacts should also come under fire. A good proportion of staff at WACH are of an age where they would have had the BCG vaccine. If they dont use QFT there will be many false positives results and un-necessary staff stand-downs and treatments.
