The new Australian Government will confront major challenges in the funding and delivery of health care.
The search for effective and lasting solutions will require a consultative approach to deciding the nation’s priority health problems and to designing the health system that will best address them; issues of bureaucratic and fiscal responsibility can then follow.
The Menzies Centre for Health Policy is dedicated to examining these challenges critically in several ways:
Lesley Russell, Stephen R Leeder, Bruce K Armstrong, James A Gillespie and George L Rubin, The first 100 days: an open letter to the new Minister for Health, MJA 2007; 187 (11/12): 608-609. A copy of the letter is available at http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/187_11_031207/rus11291_fm.pdf.
The Menzies Centre for Health Policy in conjunction with the University of Sydney will host a series of seminars, each examining certain health policy challenges that the new government will face.
