Summary
The Special Commission of Inquiry into Healthcare Funding, led by The Honourable Justice Richard Beasley, conducted a major review of the NSW public healthcare system and how it is funded.
The delivery of the Report follows almost 70 hearing days and an extensive consultation with health policy experts, patients, consumers, and NSW Health staff involved in the delivery of care at every level.
The Report finds that the NSW Health system is well managed and efficient, and states funding allocated to NSW Health by the Commonwealth and State Governments is not wasted.
The Report has made 41 recommendations across 12 key areas including workforce, education and training, funding and procurement processes.
The NSW Government will carefully consider and develop a response to these findings.
