About this listen
In this week’s episode, the Medical Services Advisory Committee’s rejection of adding Pompe disease to newborn blood spot screening is condemned. The decision is contemptuous, inhumane, and riddled with fabricated justifications based on made-up terms like 'parental hypervigilance'. Families’ lived experience highlights the devastating cost of delayed diagnosis. The committee ignored evidence, misused language, and hid behind flawed economic models while dismissing patients. Health Minister Mark Butler and the Prime Minister can show moral leadership and finally honour their promises of 'never again'.
