New South Wales Health Minister Jillian Skinner and Danny O’Connor, CEO of the Western Sydney Local Health District, have rejected claims of a lack of transparency. While Blacktown Hospital conceded that excessive waiting times were experienced at its emergency department in early January 2015, there has been no official data issued on one patient who allegedly had to wait as long as 40 hours. Paramedics argue that long delays were caused by the hospital’s temporary closing of 60 beds
