The NSW Government yesterday released the first six month report of the independent panel set up to report on the implementation of the Caring Together reforms. The report also includes an audit on the progress of the reforms. “As described by John Walsh, the Government has moved swiftly to act and today six months on from the release of our Caring Together Health Action Plan for NSW, we are pleased to reach this milestone and release of the independent report,” Ms Tebbutt said.
However the Sydney Morning Herald headlines on November 19 state "Doctors sick of failure to fix ailing hospitals". "Since Peter Garling, SC, handed down his landmark report a year ago, calling for an urgent overhaul of the state's hospital system, little has changed on the ground, the survey conducted for the Australian Medical Association and the Australian Salaried Medical Officers concluded." AMA (NSW) President Dr Brian Morton said the Independent Panel’s review of the State Government’s Caring Together reforms highlighted the need to better engage health professionals in hospital decision making.
