Comments

Salaries and wages invariably constitute the major component of recurrent and, indeed, total expenditure for establishments are vital to any analysis of health expenditure at the national level. The categories correspond with those relating to full-time equivalent staffing which is a requirement for any proper analysis of average salary costs.
This is to include all paid leave (recreation, sick and long-service) and salary and wage payments relating to workers compensation leave.
Salary data for contract staff, provided the contract is for the supply of labour (e.g. nursing) rather than products (e.g. photocopier maintenance), should be shown under the appropriate staff salary category provided that corresponding staffing (full-time equivalent) data is available. If not, it should be shown separately.
From 1 July 2014 national public hospital establishment reporting uses the data elements included in the Recurrent salaries and wages expenditure data element cluster:
