Healthcare workers in regional and rural New South Wales are operating in a “culture of fear” with many at “breaking point” due to widespread issues of resourcing, pay and safety, according to a scathing report handed to the state government on Thursday.
The report presented 44 recommendations to fix the healthcare system in rural, regional and remote areas, which it found to be “in crisis”, leading to “significantly poorer health outcomes” when compared to the city.
