MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Highlights of the fifth day of the Australian Open on Thursday (all times GMT):
PETALING JAYA: A shortage of public healthcare workers will hamper the implementation of the Waktu Bekerja Berlainan pilot shift system despite a reduction in working hours, says the medical fraternity.
“Under the WBB shift system, there is also no allowance for working past 5pm on weekdays. Graveyard shifts are treated as regular working hours and included as part of the 45-hour work week,” he said in a statement.Dr Kalwinder said there is still insufficient manpower on the ground, adding that this will make it difficult to implement the WBB system.“At the moment, the current healthcare distribution of our healthcare workforce is struggling to manage the high workloads.
Dr Kalwinder said the manpower shortage and reduced income under the new system risks further demoralising an already overworked workforce. “Address manpower shortages and engage stakeholders. Only then can we move on to meaningful reforms that will benefit both healthcare workers and the public,” he said.
