The current Commonwealth-state hospital funding agreement expires on 1 July 2020. It is a big deal, as it accounts for about 40% of total public hospital funding. Over the last 3 years we’ve had 3 different deals: pre-2014, 2014-2016, post-2016. What should post 2020 hospital funding look like? Should there be rewards for safer care? Should there be a (funding) link between primary care and hospitals? If so, what/how?
Professor Stephen Duckett is Director of the Health Program at Grattan Institute. He has a reputation for creativity, evidence-based innovation and reform in areas ranging from the introduction of activity-based funding for hospitals, to new systems of accountability for the safety of hospital care. An economist, he is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia and of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences.
