Government Cant Ignore Crucial Aged Care Reform: CHA
However, CHA CEO Martin Laverty said the Commission should not have been so cautious in only recommending minor hospital system reform.
CHA is disappointed that the Commission has not taken the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for reform by only going as far as suggesting the Commonwealth part-fund hospital services, Mr Laverty said. This is deferring real decisions about Commonwealth-funded public hospital services for years into the future. What we need now is action on patient care, not more debate.
CHA has backed the NHHRCs recommendations on aged care.
Older Australians are being let down by an out of date aged care system, Mr Laverty said.
The Commission has given the Government an action plan which many in the aged care sector have been seeking for years.
Last year CHA proposed to the Government a number of changes we believe are crucial to ensuring that every Australian who needs it has access to quality aged care, now and into the future.
Some of our recommendations were not well received within Government at the time.
Now the chief health reform body has echoed our proposals, we again offer to work with Government to implement these proposals we are ready and willing to help bring about the necessary changes.
