The Newmarch House aged-care facility in western Sydney continues to attract scrutiny over its handling of a coronavirus outbreak. Amongst other things, questions have been raised as to why residents who have been not been diagnosed with the virus were allowed to remain in a wing of the facility with those who have been infected, and why the infected residents have not been moved to the nearby Nepean Hospital. Some 37 residents have been infected with the virus and 15 have died, while 26 staff members of the Anglicare-operated facility have contracted the respiratory illness.

New South Wales Deputy Coroner Hugh Dillon has begun the inquest into the deaths of 11 nursing home patients in late 2011, killed in a fire set by nurse Roger Dean. The Coroner’s Court has been told that the drug addict supplied just two references, one by his lover at the time, and that managers at the Quakers Hill Nursing Home checked neither. He was then put in charge of the night shift and had ready access to opioid painkillers. No reports were made to any disciplinary or registered body either about previous misconduct by Dean at St John of God Hospital and St George Hospital
