Collaboration key to addressing health demand

Jeremy Rockliff,Minister for Health
I’d like to thank the clinicians and health representatives who joined the Health Secretary and I today to discuss ideas and solutions to address increasing demand on our health system.
Today was about listening to those around the table, because it is by taking a collaborative, solutions-based approach that we are best able to address the health challenges Tasmania is facing – something that is also being experienced Australia-wide.
It was a constructive meeting with a lot of goodwill in the room. I appreciated the frankness and willingness of those present to contribute ideas which largely aligned with strategies already being looked at or underway such as the streamlining of processes across our hospitals to create better patient flow, governance improvements, incentives to both attract and retain staff and exploring alternative pathways to care. We have committed to exploring any new ideas presented and continuing to keep the lines of communication open.
