00:01Well, the ABC understands that staff from Queensland Health were conducting checks into policies and procedures
00:07across those Monash IVF clinics around Queensland.
00:10Now, they're remaining fairly tight-lipped as to the outcomes
00:13because they're waiting for an investigation, an independent review to be finalised.
00:17But this really all started last week when the bungle into the IVF fertility clinic, Monash IVF, was revealed.
00:24The company had reportedly mistakenly implanted a Brisbane patient with another woman's embryo.
00:32Now, this is believed to have unfolded in 2023.
00:35The child was born later that year and it's understood that the child shares no genetic link to either of its birth parents.
00:43But the mix-up was only really discovered earlier this year in February
00:47when the couple had requested for its remaining embryos to be transferred to another fertility provider.
00:53And that's when Monash IVF had realised its mistake.
00:57Now, the national fertility provider is attributing its mistake to human error based on initial investigations.
01:04But it's also commissioned Barrister Fiona McLeod to conduct an independent review into the matter.
01:10But it's really interesting because here in Queensland, laws had only really been passed last year
01:15that actually apply to this situation directly.
01:18They were laws consistent around assisted reproductive technology.
01:22They give Queensland Health extraordinary powers to be able to either suspend or ban providers.
01:28They also require regulations from IVF fertility clinics to report on errors like human error.
01:35However, these laws don't actually come into effect until September this year.
01:39Now, sources from Queensland Health have told the ABC they don't believe that these laws would have been able to prevent this particular situation
01:46because it's almost impossible to be able to regulate human error.
01:50But certainly they have raised questions as to regulations in the industry.
01:55And because this case is believed to be the first of its kind here in Australia,
02:00no doubt we are expecting a lot more fallout, not just in the weeks but also months to come.
02:05We're timing.
