Ms Susan Clyne:

We know in some cases where they have been rejected. The issue is these are critical skills. We have asked them to come. In many cases, model 3 hospitals would simply close without them. That is a fact. Unless we do something to support them and to bring their families to them quicker and treat them with the respect that they deserve, there will be ongoing issues. A few of the international doctors have resigned and left because of not being able to bring their family here with them.
