Internal reviews by a Tasmanian hospital into a pedophile nurse were misleading and an allegation of historical abuse known to management was omitted and not escalated, an inquiry has been told.
James Geoffrey Griffin died by suicide in October 2019 after being charged with multiple child sexual abuse offences.
An inquiry into child sexual abuse has been told of "catastrophic failures" in Launceston General Hospital's handling of complaints against Griffin, who worked on the children's ward for almost two decades.
