Departing Department of Health head , Dr David Ashbridge, is understood to have had a lively discussion with Health Minister Kon Vatskalis about the government’s lack of resources , oversight and support for officers in the child protection area. We understand Dr Ashbridge pinned the minister's ears back with his forthright comments . (Hope those aren't the same Easter Bunny ears the minister had been seen wearing about the RDH warren .) Both the Minister and the Chief Minister last week in the Legislative Assembly admitted the obvious- that child care is in deep crisis.
