Yesterday in the Leg Raj revealed more details on how long the problem has been ignored.

Previously he couldn't speak out (as a PC member), but now as an independent he can speak out about documents he had access to as an emergency room doctor.
BTW for political geeks. The leg has been sitting since 3 PM yesterday as the opposition (and Raj) push for changes to Bill 17.

IMO Stelmach could have avoided this whole thing by making Raj the Health Minister. Then the AHS wouldn't have had to have their "emergency meeting" which put Duckett under pressure by the media to respond when he emerged from that meeting.
