The number of doctors employed in the public system is growing far slower than the number of top bureaucrats, according to a new report on NSW’s public sector.

Despite being in the middle of a pandemic, data released by the state’s Public Service Commission shows senior executive numbers have risen three times faster than those for doctors, nurses and paramedics.
