TỪNG WAH MEDICAL STAFF TO GET SAME SALARY SCALES
AS GOVERNMENT DOCTORS, NURSES
Doctors, nurses and other medical staff of the Tung Wah Group
of Hospitals are to get the same pay as their counterparts in Government
service.
The Government announced tonight that it has accepted, in
principle, the application of equal salary scales for the staff of the
Medical Section of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.
The Finance Committee of the Legislative Council had earlier
this afternoon accepted the financial implications of the increased
salaries, which will be back-dated to April 1 this year,
The financial commitment is expected to be in the order of
$8 million a year.
The Government decision on equal salary scales for the medical
staff of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals follows a comprehensive study
of comparative qualifications and responsibilities of staff in the
Group's hospitals with those of similar staff in Government service.
Release Time: 9.00 p.m.
