The NSW mental health minister has been accused of misleading the public after internal documents suggest boosting the pay of the state’s public hospital psychiatrists would cost hundreds of millions less than the $700 million taxpayer price tag.
PowerPoint presentation slides delivered by NSW Health’s chief medical workforce adviser show that giving staff specialist psychiatrists a 25 per cent pay rise to fill 416 positions would cost an additional $24.9 million annually from 2025.
The documents from early 2024 also revealed the government was aware of the extent of the recruitment and retention crisis across the state’s acute mental health services, in which almost one-third of staff specialist positions were vacant, and the system’s reliance on casual labour, almost a year before the psychiatrists’ mass resignations.
The $24.9 million figure would bring the total cost每年至1.25亿美元，以4级奖励率（相当于25％的颠簸）支付416名员工专家的精神科医生，在四年中总计5亿美元。
提高了25％的加薪，这是澳大利亚和新西兰精神病学的新西兰学院高级成员提出的，在Slive wor Wor Perthersed Pertheris at Pertheris at Pertheris at persions at Pertasion at possip at possip the Possip the Possip the Possip the Possip for。一年，有205名员工专家威胁到大规模辞职。大约有50次辞职，许多人在合同上恢复了角色。
上周，心理健康部长罗斯·杰克逊（Rose Jackson）告诉媒体媒体，加薪将耗资7亿美元。
在议会周二，杰克逊（Jackson）澄清了7亿美元，澄清的是，
在周一的一份声明中，杰克逊在幻灯片中说的数字“仅指“直接薪资成本”的直接薪资成本增加了25.5％的精神病医生在一个时间点所用的精神病医生增加了25％。杰克逊说。政府对拟议的工会在整个争端中的成本上涨一直不诚实，并且知道该系统自2024年初以来就取决于承包商。
“这真是令人恐惧，”一月份辞职的德鲁说。 “我花了一些时间试图确定7亿美元的来源……这是没有意义的。”

Dr Nick Spooner, president of ASMOF NSW, characterised Jackson’s comments as “misinformation at best, or deception to减少对公共精神科医生的支持”。 “What we have seen from Minister Jackson and the government has been inflated costs without the context of what they are referencing.”
The slides show that staff specialist vacancies had more than doubled from 2019 to 2024 and visiting medical officer contracts jumped from 351 in 2022 to 430 in 2023.
The data collection and modelling detailed in the slides followed several meetings between Jackson, Health Minister Ryan帕克（Park），卫生部和高级精神科医生对专业的招聘和保留危机发出警报。
“许多农村LHD甚至都不试图吸引员工专家，”德鲁说。 “他们只是在VMO上运行。”
政府在三年内提出了10.5％的增长，其中包括退休金，一个六个月的试点项目，以提高条件和效率以进一步增加薪酬，并增加10％的繁重责任，
