Productivity Commission

The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) welcomes the Productivity Commission’s research study into the Australian health workforce. It is time a sensible, independent and evidence based approach to workforce issues was undertaken to better inform a debate that to date has been characterised by political point scoring, scapegoating and key opinion leaders repeating urban myths as fact. It is time for some clarity, data and a shared understanding of the real problems before the increasing frustration felt by those working in the healthcare system makes it too late for cooperative solutions to be developed

The Productivity Commission report is at the link below - 435 pages.
