Radical surgery urged to cure WorkCover ills

Article Abstract:

A privatized workers' compensation system underwritten by licensed insurance companies may supplant the New South Wales state-run plan. The government's WorkCover system is facing a possible $1.2 billion shortfall by June 1998 due to inadequate injury prevention programs, managed care and return-to-work procedures. Other options remaining are reduced benefits and higher premiums.
