The parents of Aishwarya Aswath have told 6PR Mornings that they are hoping a coronial inquest into their little girl’s death will provide more answers. 

An independent report released in November contained 30 recommendations, all of which the State Government had promised to act upon immediately. 

However, Aishwarya’s father, Aswath Chavittupara, has told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings that this hasn’t happened yet at the Perth Children’s Hospital Emergenc Department.

“Eight of eleven recommendations from the internal inquiry (have been) completed,” he said.

“And they said that PCH are continuing to work with us and other hospitals to implement recommendations of the independent external inquiry report, so there’s nothing concrete on that one.”

Aswath said that it is time for the government to act on the recommendations, after the inquiry into the seven-year-old’s death began at PCH one year ago.

“If they can point out things in the right direction, I think it’s time for us to review our health system, and then we can start making small changes at a time,” he said.

“We don’t expect to change the health system overnight, but just one small change over a period of time will make meaningful changes.”
