A leaked draft Report from the Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) reveals concerns over the relocation of the planned Women and Babies Hospital to Murdoch, stating an increased risk of death and disability for newborn babies. The report rejects the decision to build the maternity hospital 20 kilometers away from Perth Children’s Hospital due to the risks it poses to women and babies, particularly newborns. The move has been criticized by unions and former pediatricians, while CAHS management has distanced themselves from the report. Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson supports the move and is consulting with clinicians on the best way to proceed.
