I want to start by reiterating that I believe we all have the same dream for the health system: we all want to address health inequities, we all want to shorten waiting lists, and we all want a workforce that isn’t overstretched and that has the right skills to respond effectively to all our diverse populations. …
This Government is totally focused on outcomes. The question we ask about any policy is: will it improve outcomes? Will it mean people get better care? Will it mean people get faster care? Will it mean people will get the care that suits their circumstances, including cultural competency?
My dream for the health system isn’t about bureaucratic structures and endless plans and reports; it’s about identifying need and responding to it.
For health: we can choose form or function; I choose function.
We can choose activism or actions; I choose actions.
We can choose outrage or outcomes; I choose outcomes.
Such a good contrast.
