The NSW Health Secretary Susan Pearce, who was close to tears during parts of Wednesday’s press conference, said: “never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would be standing here with two staff of the New South Wales health system having said such horrendous feelings about our community, and particularly to our Jewish community, I offer my sincere apologies.”.
Two New South Wales hospital workers who appeared in a social media video appearing to threaten to refuse to treat and to kill Israeli patients have been identified as nurses at a Sydney hospital and have been “stood down immediately”, the state’s health minister says.
Asked about claims they made in the video about their treatment of Israeli patients, Park said there was no evidence of that based on a rapid examination of patient incidents and patient safety issues over the last 12 months at the hospital.
Ryan Park launched an investigation after a video was published by an Israeli content creator depicting an online conversation he had with two people in a NSW hospital on a version of the social media platform Chatroulette.
“There is no place in our hospital and health system for this sort of view to ever, ever take place,” Park said.
