Complaints have been levelled at Dubbo Hospital which recently bought a motor inn to for healthcare staff to stay in.
Fly-in fly-out specialists say Dubbo Hospital bosses want to force them to stay in accommodation “riddled with ants and cockroaches”.
Until now, VMOs have been free to choose their own living quarters in the NSW town with the costs covered by the local health district.
But last week the policy changed, with a new rule that visiting doctors must use housing owned or leased by the hospital.
It includes the Endeavour Court Motor Inn which the hospital recently purchased to house staff.
