Bloom worries case is not isolated

DA provincial spokesperson on health Jack Bloom said: “This is one of the most tragic cases. There may even be cases that we don’t know about.

“I think the department needs to do whatever they can to assist the family. They also need to tighten up and focus on proper identification tags.”

He added: “I hope lessons have been learnt from this because although this happened a long time ago, these kinds of cases will follow the person for the rest of their lives. The department should make sure this does not happen again!”
