AUSTRALIAN Health Review, a
journal of the Australian Healthcare
& Hospitals Association, has
published a fiscal incidence analysis
relating to trends in government
health expenditure by age.
Drawing on Australian Bureau of
Statistics fiscal incidence studies
between 1984 and 2010, the John
Curtin University report said the
main finding was that spending had
shifted focus from the younger half
to the older half of the population
across acute hospital care,
community health services and

Expenditure on the elderly has
grown three times faster than on
younger households with a 51%
increase for the young, 79% for
the middle aged and 179% for the
elderly.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 01 Sep 14 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 01 Sep 14
