As was reported in Stat 767 we have reached agreement with the VHIA regarding payments for the public holidays which fall over the Christmas & New Year period.

However, some health services have been sending out misleading information to managers. For example, the information sent around by Alfred Health implies that the Christmas Day substitute public holiday 27 December 2010 does not apply under our Agreement. This is incorrect.
