15% pay rise for NSW nurses possible using $3bn untapped federal funds due to inaccurate hospital reporting.
NSW nurses' union claims a 15% pay rise for nurses is possible without affecting the state budget, as $3bn in untapped federal funds could be used. The funds have been blocked due to inaccurate and inefficient hospital reporting over the past five years. Deloitte's analysis indicates the missing billions are a result of a long-running failure to capture accurate patient data. The union argues that better systems would allow for more accurate reflection of care provided and access to federal funds.
