Pressure is mounting for the federal government to call a royal commission into health regulation amid new allegations of patient exploitation by cosmetic surgery “cowboys”.
Royal Australasian College of Surgeons president Dr Sally Langley said the story showed conduct that did not meet Australia’s surgical standards had been allowed to thrive and a wide-ranging, independent investigation was needed.
Butler said in a statement he had been appalled by the “disgusting” behaviour of some cosmetic surgeons and had put the regulation of the sector on the agenda of health ministers. “It’s so poorly targeted,” Dr Faux said. “Their work is focused in the wrong place, so good doctors are being destroyed.”
