"She was told it was all in her head," Mr Mourambine said."She rang me that Wednesday morning and told me that she had migraines," he said."I was so happy that I told her I loved her before I hung up. I didn't know that was going to be my last call."She had just graduated from a rehabilitation program at Wandoo, a comprehensive drug and alcohol course that prisoners must self-refer themselves to.
"If you’re going to work in a therapeutic community you have to be sympathetic to the people that are there,” Ms Betts said.“We don’t say we want Panadol because we’re drug addicts, we say it because we’re in pain.” He said Ms Lowe had complained to family members of "having long term what she described as flu symptoms, also migraines, headaches, and receiving no response and being very distressed"."If you or I feel unwell, we go to a hospital."
In 2006 and 2008, reviews were conducted into the provision of health care in WA prisons, following a World Health Organisation recommendation that prison health care be provided by independent health organisations, and a decision was made to transfer responsibility for inmates' health to the Health Department, for an estimated annual cost of $20 million.
Mr Somerville also criticised WA's track record on deaths in custody of Indigenous prisoners, including 22-year-old Yamatji woman Ms Dhu in a South Hedland lock-up in 2014. Mr Somerville said Ms Dhu's case revealed Western Australia's sad history of not taking detainees health complaints seriously.
If the Wokes bothered to look at the actual stats from the AIC they’d see that rates of non indigenous deaths in custody are almost double that of indigenous. This has been the same case over the last four decades 🤷♀️ VoteNo StopTheLies BeBetter
Where's all the articles of white people dying in custody? Or do we only care about indigenous criminals?
I don’t think many of the commentators actually read the article. Something went seriously wrong here with her treatment and staff. She basically died while in medical care.
Where are all these Magnitsky acts, laws, sanctions from so-called international community?
Always looking to blame someone else. Professional victims.
