International Pathology Day

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, in light of International Pathology Day on the 11th of November, I rise to acknowledge the incredible contribution of all pathology members across the State. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our pathologists have worked tirelessly as part of the testing process, ensuring that positive cases are identified and treated. We are incredibly lucky in our local area to have multiple pathology clinics, in suburbs like Oatley, Penshurst and Hurstville. Their clinics are safe, efficient and professional. NSW's outstanding handling of this virus can be attributed in no small part to all pathologists across the State. These staff have worked hard to ensure the COVID-19 testing occurs in a timely and accurate manner and they have also had to perform their usual tasks. I would like to especially thank all frontline staff, and those working at St George Hospital, as well as all members of the Health Services Union, who have been instrumental in our fight against COVID. In particular, Adam Hall, HSU's Political Manager. We cannot thank you all enough.
