Fast-track review for health workers

Letters

I CALL on the Department Of Personal Management and Health Department to fast-track the review submission on terms and conditions of employment of community health workers in public service.
The review submission was shelved by some ignorant industrial officers from the department since early 2015.
This delay of the review submission has caused misunderstanding by hospital management, provincial administrations and others assuming that the award of 2007 is outdated now.
The cause of the delay is between Health Department and Department of Personnel Management’s industrial officers.
We are prepared to call for their termination effectively.
My branch executives from Oro, Morobe and West New Britain are already in Port Moresby to give support for industrial stop work.

Dec Isaac,
National President,
