Australia: Inquiry reveals chronic under funding and lengthy wait times for South-West Sydney health services A New South Wales (NSW) parliamentary inquiry report released at the end of last year has revealed that health services in the working class suburbs of South-West Sydney have experienced historic under funding by successive governments, with lower overall funding and numbers of health workers per capita than most areas of Sydney. This has resulted in wait times of over 500 days for some procedures. South-West Sydney is one of the largest local health districts (LHD) in NSW, with an estimated population of over one million residents around 12 percent of the NSW population. The district includes the suburbs of Liverpool, Canterbury-Bankstown, Fairfield, Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly, which have high levels of socioeconomic disadvantage and low rates of private health insurance.
