Popis: | Recent announcements by the NSW Government concerning the closure and relocation of hospital services are reminiscent of similar initiatives in 1982. It is timely that consideration be given to the impact and longer term effectiveness of the "beds to the west" scheme as the earlier redistribution programme became known. A review of the extent to which the programme's objectives were achieved together with a description of the principal management features of the decommissioning process provide significant lessons for today's policy makers. |
