The NSW government has formally responded to the special commission of inquiry into healthcare funding, accepting the recommendation that “preventive health should be made, and remain over the long term, a standing whole of NSW government priority”.
The review of the NSW public healthcare system and how it is funded, led by commissioner Richard Beasley, visited every local health district and speciality health network across metropolitan as well as regional NSW, receiving 226 written submissions, hearing testimony from 225 witnesses over 70 days of hearings, including clinicians, patients, unions, providers and policy experts.
