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
