Hepatitis C Outbreak - Schoolboy error??

There was very little discussions on the net how badly the initial investigation was undertaken and how Singapore General Hospital Staff dismissed possible internal lapses and even proceeded to notify the Police with suggestions of sabotage. Even had temerity to call foreign experts as though it was highly sophisticated in nature.

Look at the report by the independent review. People are dying and SGH decided not to even notify MOH until it was too late.

So far no one has been nailed to the post for
1) lapses in basic control procedures
2) for schoolboy manner of conducting investigations into multiple deaths and rapidly rising levels of infection.
3) failing to notify MOH
4) doing sweet fuckall in conducting diagnostic testing

But when it comes to AHTC, the whole parliament, every government ministers and even 2 bit players like Victor Lye got a lot of time ranging over months. Maybe Viv B who asked WP to come clean might want to come clean on this as he was once the CEO of SGH.

It is puzzling why so many doctors kept silent on this matter. I recall PT speaking up. More Tambyahs needed to check MOH. Maybe Wei Ling was right. She commented to some of her closer friends that Gan KY isn't the man for this job.

Gan Kim Yong first came to know of this on 18th Sept, 5 full months after SGH realised that they had a full blown disaster on their hands. What is more important than this and why 5 months. Real mystery.

Here is the report in full of those who are interested - https://www.moh.gov.sg/content/dam/moh_web/PressRoom/Current_Issues/2015/IRCReport.pdf

Interestingly PT who is the head for this area in NUH was not made part of the review team but someone from Changi Hospital.

He is very good at ducking disasters but disasters find him anyway. Coincidence? I think not. Probably a character flaw, i dislike delivering bad news too. Same problem with him helming manpower. Does he think he has the situation under control?

From my experience in the SPF, it is not possible that GKY was not aware of this incident. Major incidents and cases of interest in the SPF require Incident Reports to be put up and these reports are meant for Minister, MOS, Par Sec, PS, Dy Sec etc. I doubt if MOH operates differently. Even if it does, as Minister, he would have heard his ministry staff talking about this.

GKY first came to know of this only on 18 Sept. I can't help but notice that GE 2015 was held a week or two before his discovery. Even if want to hide such things, there are more sophisticated ways to go about doing so. Any announcement of the outbreak, prior to GE 2015, must have been assessed as detrimental to the PAP. On hindsight, I am sure they would have been honest if they knew that 70% stood behind them.

I see your point. I was actually surprised. Even PS did not know about until 4 months later. In late May, the National Organ Transplant told them to escalate up the chain. NOTU notified in April on the basis that the patient came in with the infection.

Amy Khor, Lam Pin Min, Chee Hong Tat, PS Tan Ching Yee and DMS Benjamin Ong and two other DS all in the dark? Can't be. These chaps would be having lunches, dinners, tea sessions, SMSes etc and none even aware of what's up at SGH? SGH docs don't have OSA to frighten them. Am sure along the journey before announcement, at least one would be au fait with this. GE 2015 was more important.
