Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

674

2014

These figures do not include numbers for casual employees, as they cannot readily be broken down between full-time and part-time.

The number of VMOs engaged by ACT Health at the end of the last three calendar years is as follows:

Note that these figures do not reflect the income generated for ACT Health through rights of private practice, only the payments to staff.

These amounts also do not include on-costs or other administrative costs, such as travel. These figures are not maintained by employment groups, including medical officers.
