The head of the grilled hospital after another child dies after the treatment of the hospital in Northern Beaches

The executives of HealthScope, who leads the North Beaches Hospital, say that the death of another child at the weekend does not seem to be related to any “key deficiencies”.

The medical officer of the hospital, Peter Thomas, confirmed on Thursday after -develops death during budget estimates.

“I am limited in what I can say because of confidentiality, but there was an emergency caesarean section, which was transferred to North Shore Hospital,” he said.

He could not say how long the mother was waiting, however, he said there are no current indications about mistakes.

The Minister of Health, Ryan Park, said that his deepest condolences were with his parents following the “heartbreaking loss”.

“Healthscope advised me to examine the circumstances of this case.

“NSW Health asked the chief obstetrician to review the circumstances.”

Healthscope recognizes parents pain

Healthcope officials were in the Parliament to answer questions about Joe Massa’s case, two years old, who died in September after treatment at Northern Beaches Hospital.

His parents, Elouise and Danny, were sitting in the public gallery when the executive director Greg Horan addressed them directly.

“I just wanted to convey the deepest condolences to the Massa family for the loss of your boy, Joe,” he said.

“And, for the care that Joe did not receive at our hospital at Northern Beaches.

On the morning of September 14 last year, Mrs. Massa brought her son to the Emergency Section, after vomiting during the night.

Joe had to wait more than two and a half hours for a bed, despite having a dangerous heartbeat.

Mrs. Massa, who could see that the condition of her son gets worse, repeatedly asked the staff to give her intravenous liquids, but her pleadings were rejected.

Later that morning, Joe had a cardiac arrest and died from the brain injury he suffered.

An internal review has identified several deficiencies at the hospital that day, including weak IT systems, incorrect triage and failure to listen to family concerns.

Why didn’t he give him liquids?

Joe was suffering from hypovolemia – a severe lack of liquids.

However, Dr. Thomas said the hearings that the staff had become “anchored” at the initial diagnosis of gastroenteritis.

“I think it has been fixed, perhaps, in the minds of some of the staff that it was gastroenteritis,” he said.

“And gastroenteritis would often be treated with a fluid approach IV at the last or later in this process.”

He said that Joe had finally received a drip, but the recognized staff should have listened to Mrs. Massa’s pleadings earlier.

“Tragically, this is the result of the lack of recognition … (by) the voice of a parent was heard by the medical staff in the Emergency Section,” he said.

Apart from the meeting, Mrs. Massa said that parts of the hearings made her feel “unleashed”.

“Joe got a drip? Healthscope replied yes,” she said.

“(But) did not give a drip until he died.

“We must make sure this is happening.”
