Regis Nedlands allegations highlight need to fix broken aged care system: Greens

Greens spokesperson for Seniors and Ageing Hon Alison Xamon MLC has expressed her shock at the death of two seniors, following allegations of abuse of elderly residents at the Regis Aged Care Nedlands.

Ms Xamon extended her sincerest condolences to the families of the residents who have died.
