Surgeons have warned they won’t be performing surgeries at a ‘cut price’ to help clear the elective surgery backlog left in the wake of COVID-19. 

NSW AMA President Dr Danielle McMullen says while the notion of reducing waiting lists is admirable, surgeons are not prepared to work under the same arrangements that existed during the pandemic.
