The medical community is up in arms as GP Health proposes to reduce overtime contracts for doctors, sparking concerns about the impact on public hospitals. Last year, the provincial Department of Health faced backlash over a new system of overtime approvals, which aimed to cut added hours for doctors. This latest move has raised eyebrows, with the medics' association voicing strong opposition. The dispute highlights the ongoing debate about doctor workload, healthcare staffing, and medical workforce management. As the situation unfolds, the association is pushing for a rethink on the proposed changes to ensure quality patient care and fair working conditions for doctors.
