THE Australian Medical
Association has released a
document detailing what it believes
are the key health issues for the
2010 federal election.
Amongst its recommendations
are the improvement of patient
access to GP services, the need for
a comprehensive approach to the
management of complex and
chronic diseases, the development
of a long-term national strategic
plan to improve the health of
Indigenous Australians,
improvement of funds for hospitals
and measures to encourage private
health insurance uptake.
The AMA also says the Govt
needs to ensure post-graduation
access to high-quality training
places, provide greater funding for
mental health services and the
provision of adequate resourcing to
the aged-care sector.
