And it is accepted industrial relations practice that there is an appropriate process by which an employer separates an employee. The most important aspect of that process is that the principles of natural justice apply to the CEO as they do to the doctor, the nurse or the cleaner. Those principles include that an employee must be given the opportunity to be heard before disciplinary action can be taken. One assumes that during the period of their suspension, with pay, the five doctors and five nurses will be given an opportunity to be heard by the three-member investigatory panel that's been established to look into the death of Crystal Boodoo-Ramsoomair. The question, therefore, is why did the board fail to afford the CEO the similar right or opportunity to be heard.
