Submissions To The Commonwealth Commission Of Audit. What Are They All Saying In Health?

Was told about this list today. Since Senator Richard Di Natale yesterday wanted a list on the web (mentioned at Senate hearing yesterday) here are a few.

National Commission of Audit – some submissions related to healthcare

 Policy

Jan 14, 2014

The National Commission of Audit was announced by the Treasurer, the Hon Joe Hockey MP, and the Minister for Finance, Senator the Hon Mathias Cormann, on 22 October 2013. Although the Treasurer has stated that the total health budget will not be cut, there have already been a number of “suggestions” floated publicly about how money for healthcare might be “better” spent. According to the Commission’s web site, the call for public submissions has closed. Whilst we wait for submissions to be made public on the Commission’s web site, the Consumers e-Health Alliance has identified a number of submissions that are relevant to the debate about healthcare spending, policy and governance:-

• Aged & Community Services Australia
• Alzheimer’s Australia
• Assn of Australian Medical Research Institutes
• Australian Council for International Development
• Australian Council of Social Service
