Salaried doctors plan for Canberra hospitals debated
Proposals to staff Woden Hospital with salaried doctors were presented to Health Minister Sir Kenneth Anderson by the Canberra Hospital Management Board. The plan could extend to Canberra Hospital, shifting away from the current system. Meetings with the minister were planned before his overseas trip later this month. The board envisions pensioned salaried staff and a medical classification scheme at both hospitals, with patient choice between hospitals and some specialist arrangements. Fees and funding remain undecided, and public patient beds are planned without separate wards. Critics fear salaried service needs a large pool of public patients, and the ACT branch of the Australian Medical Association opposes salaried employment, arguing private practice offers better continuity of care.
