The State of Our Public Hospitals Report 2008, released today and available at the Department of Health and Ageing highlights how much work lies ahead of us to deliver a better health and hospital system. While some results are encouraging, others show the scale of the challenge ahead, with public hospital admissions increasing faster than population growth.
Elective surgery statistics for each state and territory will also be made available today through the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing website. As part of the plan, states and territories will report on elective surgery performance in public hospitals through their websites, so that patients can make informed decisions about their own health care based on individual hospital results.
