If the new Health/hospitals plan gets up, it will need another layer of bureaucracy for sure.

And then consider that the plan wouldn't take effect till around 2013/4, the 245 people sitting around at the moment will still be getting paid one assumes.

Well since they had to transfer these bureaucrats over to sort out the mess on the insulation which they were warned about but still went ahead - they will need a lot more new ones for health.



But hey can employ as they do - many of those refugees coming in - as no exam these days to be a public servant.

John Dwyer, another senior doctor and longstanding reform advocate who has been critical of aspects of the proposals, said last night he, too, had found fresh points of concern in the agreement detailing the COAG deal. One was the doubt hospitals would have the computers necessary to track their activities in the detail needed to claim payments under the proposed activity-based funding formula.



Professor Dwyer said he attended a meeting at a leading Sydney hospital yesterday where the doctors agreed the process was "going to be a nightmare".



"[b]We couldn't see how it was going to happen without a huge increase in bureaucracy,[/b]" Professor Dwyer said.

It seems I was correct in my assumption.

Gee whiz and funny thing I seem to remember in the lead up to the election in 2007 Kevin 007 saying that Howard had far too many public servants and he would get rid of some of them. Must have been dreaming maybe?
