(4) What was the average employment cost (including nominated overhead costs) of fulltime salaried doctors, part time salaried doctors and VMOs in the Health Directorate in each of the past three financial years.
Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The number of salaried doctors as at the last pay period in each of the last three calendar years was as follows:
Medical Officers by calendar year | ||
Calendar year |
Full Time headcount |
Part Time headcount |
2013 |
674 |
140 |
2014 |
697 |
153 |
2015 |
690 |
182 |
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:
Number of VMOs by calendar year | |
Calendar year |
VMOs |
2013 |
189 |
2014 |
182 |
2015 |
173 |
(2) ACT Health maintains no figures on “average employment costs”. The total cost of salaries, allowances, superannuation and private practice payments made to the categories of employees identified by Mr Hanson are as follows:
Medical Officers by calendar year | ||
Calendar year |
Full Time staff |
Part Time staff |
2013 |
$136,686,665.84 |
$25,239,804.29 |
2014 |
$147,278,447.64 |
$27,362,113.79 |
2015 |
$143,366,392.50 |
$31,600,295.33 |
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.
