The Disability Royal Commission rolls into Day 3 of public hearing number 10 tomorrow, with the education and training of dentists, pharmacists and allied health professionals to be further scrutinised by the Commission.
Chair of the Commission, Ronald Sackville AO QC, says “Despite some worthwhile initiatives, the evidence before the Royal Commission indicates that there has been and continues to be systemic neglect of people with cognitive disability in the Australian health system”.
The investigation tomorrow will be looking into the health care and treatment of people with cognitive disabilities, focusing on several core questions directed at the health and allied health professionals.
