Tasmania's health department has defended its offer of just $7,500 for a worker to leave her job after 40 years of service.

The Government is looking to cut 821 public service positions by June, and has been offering incentive packages to encourage people to move on.

Royal Hobart Hospital ward clerk Sue Evans was offered a meagre $7,500 to leave a position she had had since 1977.

Ms Evans felt her treatment was “unprofessional, disrespectful, completely, completely wrong”.

The Tasmanian Workforce Renewal Incentive Program states that public servants with over 10 years service should be entitled to $15,000 to $30,000 redundancy, or 30 per cent of their annual wage.

Tasmanian Health Organisation (THO) South has reportedly offered Ms Evans the full amount.

But this was only after the department came in with the lowest possible figure, the opposition health spokesperson said.

“My concern is there might be other low-paid workers in the Tasmanian health system who are being offered sums well below what their worth to leave the public health system,” health spokesperson Rebecca White said.

An audit of payouts across the public service is underway, after reviews found the department was exposed to “questions of consistency and transparency”.

Meanwhile, Tasmania’s Health Minister has conceded that residents need more certainty about where their public hospital services will be delivered.

Health Minister Michael Ferguson has been conducting consultations on the State Government's draft white paper on health reform.

“Save the jeers for me,” Mr Ferguson told the crowd of Devonport residents, when they began to heckle a local hospital worker.

He said he felt the crowd “challenged me to get on and make a decision and I think that's fair”.

The shape of reforms for the health system will be further outline in coming weeks.
