Paul Dugdale argues that Australia's health policy scene is in rude
health, with regular debates about major reform and a steady stream
of minor reforms. What motivates these debates and reforms? How can
nine governments, and scores of professional associations,
charities and businesses interact effectively without a master
plan? Why are some health policy changes met with widespread
enthusiasm and others enormous resistance? Dugdale traces the
history of the economic and social forces which have shaped
Australia's health system. He examines the thinking of government
as it is expressed through contemporary health policy, and the
roles of the key players including hospitals, the medical
profession and health departments. He also discusses major current
concerns including Indigenous health, health finance, the medical
labour market, health protection and safety issues. With its
insider's perspective on the health system and policy debates,
Doing Health Policy in Australia is essential reading for health
professionals working in management and policy roles. Paul
Dugdale's account of health policy in Australia is engaging,
philosophical, reflective and socially informed. - Professor
Stephen Leeder, University of Sydney A distinctive addition to the
pantheon of Australian books on health policy, weaving together
social theory, history and philosophy with reflective commentaries
on the Australian health system and health policy, and on being an
activist within the policy-making world. It challenges convention
and standard expectations. - Professor Vivian Lin, La Trobe
