title: Health reform: a time of opportunity and challenge.
abstract: Almost three years after the Labor Government was elected with a mandate to overhaul the health system, there are many questions about where the reform juggernaut is headed, and what it will mean for the community's health. Although some elements of the reform package are already being rolled out, including extra funding for emergency departments and elective surgery in public hospitals, many critical issues are yet to be resolved.
