Fed: AMA says rumoured appointment of Carnell unwise
The Australian Medical Association says it would be unwise and inappropriate to appoint
former Liberal ACT chief minister KATE CARNELL as head of a new training board.
Ms CARNELL, who until recently owned a pharmacy, is in the running for the spot as
chairman of the new GP Training Board.
AMA president KERRYN PHELPS says if Ms CARNELL was appointed to the federal government
body, the peak doctors' association would not welcome the choice.
Health Minister MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE has recently come under fire for his appointment
of former drug industry lobbyist PAT CLEAR to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee.
