| Summary |
"This explains what governments have done and what they can do about shaping Australia's health care system, and considers the political, economic and social contexts within which health policies develop, and the forces that promote and oppose change. It deals with major issues, including health insurance, and the organisation and provision of hospital, community health and medical services." "Health Care and Public Policy is a text for students in health administration, health planning, social work and social administration as well as students in all health-related courses and those working in health care, either in policy or service delivery."--BOOK JACKET |
