Lucian Edouard Lagrange—Medical deregistration
796. Hon Nick Goiran to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the State Administrative Tribunal's decision Medical Board of Australia and Lagrange [2021] WASAT 161.
(1) Was any review undertaken by the department following this decision to ensure that it does not take 25 years to cancel the registration of a medical practitioner who was found on several separate occasions to be committing repeat sexual offences against his patients?
(2) If yes to (1), who conducted the review, when was it conducted and will the minister table the review?
(3) If no to (1), will the minister order a review?
Hon Pierre Yang replied:
I thank the honourable Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided by the Minister for Health.
(1)–(3) The Western Australian Department of Health does not have jurisdiction over this matter.
