Fed; Mayne Group moves to heal rift with doctors
Private health care company, Mayne Group, is trying to mend its relationship with doctorsfollowing complaints management was ignoring their concerns.
Australian Medical Association Victorian president, MUKESH HAIKERWAL, says doctorsat Mayne hospitals are referring patients elsewhere for treatment because the group'smanagers are deaf to their medical concerns.
Mayne Group is one of the biggest private healthcare providers in Australia with about70 per cent of private hospital beds in Victoria and about 25 per cent nationwide.
Mayne spokesman, ROB TASSIE, says management changes are needed and the group has justincreased the number of doctor directors from 28 to 38.
He says Mayne recognises there needs to be a greater focus at the hospital level andhospital directors are in the frontline of managing relationships with doctors.
The rift between Mayne Group and doctors appears to have been caused in large partby the centralisation of hospital management and administration.
