PCA submission to Human Services Review - October 2016

Thursday, October 27, 2016

This submission by PCA to the Productivity Commission responds to the inquiry on Introducing Competition and Informed User Choice into Human Services: Identifying Sectors for Reform. This submission provides comments on the preliminary findings report, and focuses on findings relating to palliative care. PCA supports the principle that service users are activated to make informed choices about their care. PCA is of the opinion that the primary concern for people with life-limiting conditions is obtaining actual access to high quality palliative care service, as most consumers are not well placed or prepared to make decisions about which service to access.
