Health NZ has presented a new pay offer to the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists, featuring salary increases between 3.5 and 11 per cent. While the proposal includes funding to retain doctors in hard-to-staff areas, the union has criticised the offer, claiming it amounts to a pay cut that fails to cover inflation.
