The Australian Government this week released its report of the McKeon review, Strategic review of medical and health research : better health through research. A ten-year plan to better integrate health and medical research into the public health system has been recommended: “...research must be routinely performed as a part of health-care delivery and there must be greater linkage between health-care providers and research organisations.”
An interesting commentary on the review, "Don't bury the benefits of research to improve the health system" has been written by Stephen Leeder, Director of the Menzies Centre for Health Policy at the University of Sydney. He argues that the vision of the McKeon review is far from the current reality, but that the review "provides an energising view of what could be done".
