TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland Citizens draws to the attention of the House that the retired Supreme Court judge and Royal Commissioner, the Hon. Geoffrey Davies, made 14 adverse findings and 4 recommendations of legal action and criminal proceedings against Dr Daren Keating, who was the Director of Medical Services at the Bundaberg Base Hospital from 14 April 2003 until April 2005, where at least 17 lives were lost and hundreds injured as a result of Dr Patel’s medical treatment. Furthermore, the Butler legal report confirms “there is sufficient evidence to support a prima facie case against Dr Keating under the Criminal Code of attempted fraud”. Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to ensure, in the interests of justice and in accordance with the recommendations of Davies and the Butler report, Dr Darren Keating is charged with the offence of official misconduct and the offence of attempted fraud under the criminal code.
