Exhibit B:

Do you agree with the premier that the Cameron inquiry appears to be more of a `prosecution' than an inquiry? Why or why not?

Comments: The monies being wasted on the enquiry would be better spent on the Health Care System.The damage is done, those suffering will most likely continue to suffer for a long, long, long time.

Comments: I said yes but then it should be a prosecution while not a crime under the criminal code, people messed up in a big way. Having said that, what are we going to benefit by draging this on? It's clear that the system needs a major overhaul and thats that. What's done is done and there's nothing more to be gained by draging it on. another waste of our tax money.

Comments: Yes I agree with Williams. He was the one that called for the inquiry in the first place, and this inquiry could go on for ever and we are not going to learn anymore than we already know. I believe it was the laxadasical work of all involed that led to this, so how are we ever going to find out who and why, too many people were involved, perhaps all of Eastern Health all the way down the line, from the technicians, doctors, supervisors, and ministers. Now what can be cleared up with that. I believe that this inquiry has been going on for far to long, and nothing has been found out or ever will be, so what's the point in it all. The longer it goes on the worse it is for all concerned especially the patients and the famalies. Let it go and stop trying to find the blame, it will never be found, and do what has to be done to help in which ever way possible for the patients and famailies. This is a waste of time and money. Compensate the people and try to get the matter settled. Where is this getting things really, if it were to go on for years it will never get to the bottom of it all, so what is the point in prolonging it. Williams is not to blame for this, he was not the one to examine the results of the tests done. As I said it goes all the way down the line. Blaming whom ever is not the answer to this, a solution is the answer.

Comments: yes, I am not big on inquiries, in a lot of cases we are spending more money than what was wasted but in this situation an inquiry is necessary to correct the problem, and make sure it do not happen again. I feel that this inquiry is being conducted more has a witch hunt rather than a fact finding inquiry. I don't know what it is about Mr. Coffey but he irrates the hell out of me and I have to turn it off, I would not want to be a jury listening to him.
