We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to overturn the 2006 amendments to the medical act that effectively took away the rights of FY1 doctors to free accommodation, or compensate FY1 doctors for their loss. More details
Submitted by Sam Gluck – Deadline to sign up by: 18 April 2008 – Signatures: 7,730
The 2006 amendments took away the need of junior doctors to be resident in hospital. The free accommodation this gave was a perk of the job. This with the reduction in salary faced by FY1 doctors, will constitute a near a 40% reduction in take home salary.
