HSU calls for sacking of hospital board20 July 2005A Victorian health service has been ordered to pay its former CEO six months pay in a move that confirms the HSU's claims that he had been treated unfairly. Mr Alwin Gallina was awarded the maximum compensation available by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission in the case involving Portland District Health in the state's south-west. The HSU's Victorian administrative and management branch secretary, Terrie Seymour, called on the Bracks Government to immediately sack the Portland Board before it further jeopardised the financial future of the hospital. "The Board's decision to stand down Mr Gallina without just cause is just one of the many stuff ups at Portland over the past 6 months," Ms Seymour said. "Since Mr Gallina's departure the hospital has gone downhill - at a great cost to the Portland community and Victorian tax payers." The HSU revealed earlier this year that after Mr Gallina's departure, the Portland Hospital Board agreed to pay local doctors an unprecedented $1,000 a day payment to be on call to treat emergency patients. Ms Seymour said that Mr Gallina had repeatedly refused to pay the ludicrous $1,000 payment, as it was not financially viable.
