Paul Goulter: Government announcement around pay parity a "step in the right direction"

The nurses union says a Government announcement around pay parity is a step in the right direction. The Government's agreed to ongoing funding of 200-million dollars a year for frontline community health workers. It'll apply to those in private and non-Government organisations - to level pay with those in the public sector. But the Health Minister says it won't mean an immediate change for those in GP practices. Nurses' Organisation Chief Executive Paul Goulter told Mike Hosking they have a different view. He says the Minster says based on evidence he has in front of him, there isn't a pay parity issue for nurses in General Practice- but they disagree.
