| The Australian Medical Association released an Access Economics report it commissioned to examine the health policy and spending announcements in the 2006-07 Health Budget and how they affect the health system, the medical workforce and patients. The Access report confirms the AMA’s initial fears and concerns, the Association said. Despite the big spending on mental health, key areas of need such as Indigenous Health, public hospitals, and combating obesity have not received the attention they need and deserve. Waiting another year for a funding boost in these areas means another year of hardship for the Australians in greatest need of help to lead healthy lives.
