Health minister Peter Dutton claims that the public health system is inefficient and unsustainable. Gutting Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme isn’t enough to fix it. The federal government has also reneged on funding commitments, leaving the states to pick up the shortfall. The Victorian Department of Health is already onto that, through its Health Workforce Reform Implementation Taskforce. One of its projects is to “reform” staffing in public hospitals. A report by Melbourne’s Grattan Institute claims that restructuring the workforce will save $430 million per year.
