Transforming Health

Adjourned debate on motion of Ms Bedford:

That this house establish a select committee to inquire into and report on the benefits, costs and impacts of Transforming Health and in particular—

(a) the scope of policy issues that Transforming Health was designed to address (including federal healthcare funding cuts) and whether they were addressed adequately;

(b) what other issues Transforming Health should have addressed;

(c) the adequacy of the model of care proposed by Transforming Health, based around three tertiary hospitals and 'centres of excellence' supported by ambulance transfers;

(d) the adequacy of consultation with clinicians and the community on Transforming Health and alternative models for consultation and engagement;

(e) the degree to which a focus on primary health care could improve the overall effectiveness of the healthcare system;

(f) the degree of difference between public expectations and the capacity of the healthcare system, as currently resourced, to meet them;

(g) whether, having regard to its revenue base, the federal government is funding an appropriate share of the state's healthcare budget (and what the state should be doing to address this); and

(h) any other relevant matter.

(Continued from 26 July 2018.)
