THE FOLLOWING SIX YEARS

- Health investment will increasingly be focused on keeping people healthy and out of the hospital system while modernising our existing hospital network.

- Major investment in areas of population growth; regional referral hospitals; mental health and information management and technology.

- Infrastructure that gives people choice in where they are treated. For example, in the community, in integrated primary health centres, and in hospitals providing complex care.

- Greater flexibility and capacity within the health system to respond quickly to changes in demand.
