Like the curate's egg : a market-based response and alternative to the Bennett Report / by Sammut, Jeremy. Publisher: St. Leonards, N.S.W. Centre for Independant Studies 2009Description: PDF.Summary: Instead of centrally planning the future of Australian health care as recommended by the National Health and Hospital Reform Commission, the federal government should establish a national health voucher system and let choice, competition, and patient need determine the right supply of health services required in an ageing Australia. ; The final report of the National Health and Hospital Reform Commission (NHHRC or the Commission), A Healthier Future for All Australians (hereafter the Bennett Report), is like the curate?s egg -- only good in part and therefore spoiled overall. ; The NHHRC has acknowledged the need to ensure health services are responsive to the needs of patients, and has recommended some very limited market-based reforms to improve the efficiency of public hospitals. But, overall, the Commission?s long-term health reform blueprint will not put consumers in charge and ?develop a person-centred health system.?Availability: No items available
