December 1992, the date used by the Auditor-General. The increase to December 1993 was 45 per cent. That is, VMO increases were in excess of those achieved by ordinary workers. These rates were confirmed by ACT Treasury. This showed that visiting medical officers achieved increases of at least 10 per cent more than ordinary workers' wage rates.
The committee's recommendations lend support to improving the management of payments at our public hospitals, and also lend support to the Government submissions made to the arbitrator in the visiting medical officer contract case. We are, of course, awaiting that arbitration.
Debate (on motion by Mr Kaine) adjourned.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO MEMBER
Motion (by Mr Berry) agreed to:
That leave of absence from 4 to 13 September 1994 inclusive be given to Ms McRae.
