Private Health Reform Options - Consultation Paper

The Australian Private Hospitals Association is bewildered by yet another consultation process following two years of extensive briefings. Despite in-depth data, independent research papers and unprecedented financial information afforded by our members to the Federal Government, the government has done nothing, and seemingly intends to do nothing, to address the immediate issues impacting the sector, its patients and employees.

The proposed short-term options for discussion at the CEO Forum are, at best, piecemeal measures. Even collectively they will not prevent further hospital closures or curtail more services from being shut down in communities across the country. Further, there is nothing 'short-term' in delaying any decision-making for another six months, let alone after two years of inaction.
