新南威尔士州精神病医生的薪酬争议可能迫使卫生系统在大规模辞职和空缺后寻找数百万新资金。 NSW psychiatrists' pay dispute may force health system to find millions in new funding after mass resignations and vacancies.

新南威尔士州劳资关系委员会的决定可能迫使澳大利亚最大的卫生系统在200多名公共精神病医生威胁辞职后找到数百万新资金,其中超过60人离职,70人转而担任较高薪酬的来访角色。 A decision by the NSW Industrial Relations Commission could force Australia’s largest health system to find millions in new funding after over 200 public psychiatrists threatened to resign, with more than 60 leaving and 70 moving to higher-paying visiting roles. 由于与其他州和私营部门相比工资较低,精神科医生寻求一次性加薪25%,这加剧了人员危机,使得433个公立医院精神病学职位中的140多个空缺。 The psychiatrists, seeking a one-off 25% pay rise due to lower salaries compared to other states and the private sector, have worsened a staffing crisis, leaving over 140 of 433 public hospital psychiatric positions vacant. 政府承认资金不足,但拒绝提高工资,理由是预算拮据,与其他卫生工作者相比工资高。 The government acknowledged underfunding but rejected the raise, citing budget constraints and high pay relative to other health workers. 国家每年花在临时医生上的费用超过4 300万澳元,以填补空白。 患有精神疾病的患者现在被安置在普通医院病房。 The state has spent over $43 million annually on locum doctors to fill gaps, and patients with mental health conditions are now being placed in general hospital wards. 这项待决裁决的结果将确定是否分配新的资金,尽管本预算没有预留任何资金。 The outcome of the pending ruling will determine whether new funds are allocated, though none have been set aside in the current budget.
