What happened
The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons stated that New Zealand requires a long-term plan to grow and retain the surgical workforce to ensure timely care. RACS is urging political parties to make planning, growth, and retention of surgeons a priority in their election platforms. The College noted the need to address the entire pipeline, from medical school through specialist training and into the consultant workforce.
