A Sydney hospital boss is facing a second controversy in five years amid claims staff cuts are leading to missed diagnoses.
The head of five inner-Sydney hospitals has stared down calls to resign after staff at one claimed they had suffered a “death from a thousand cuts”, leading to a massive backlog of unreported scans.
A vote of no confidence in Anderson’s leadership was carried at a meeting of the medical staff council at Concord Hospital.“Sometimes it doesn’t matter, but other times it’s a cancer that should have been treated, or something that needed immediate treatment.” Two initial expert investigations found serious deficiencies in the practice of cardiothoracic surgeon Dr Michael Byrom, who was the subject of whistleblower complaints by other hospital staff.
Anderson commissioned a third expert investigation, which reversed the findings of the earlier reviews, and sent staff a memo exonerating Byrom.
