Physicians employed by county, city-county, and district health departments may, upon <br>written recommendation of the hiring and paying authorities expressly approved in <br>writing by the secretary for health and family services, receive compensation in excess of, <br>and without regard to, any limitation imposed by any existing statute, as employees of <br>local health units. Such rates shall be based upon studies of the duties and responsibilities <br>of the positions and upon a comparison for rates being paid for similar or comparable <br>services elsewhere. The secretary for health and family services may also take into <br>consideration other appropriate factors, including the scarcity of physicians qualified for <br>public health work and the availability of local funds therefor.
