Increased Uni fees will result in less nurses, local GNP candidates already have to compete with 457 visa nurses and foreign trained nurse immigrants. Jobs are few and far between especially permanet contracts. As unpaid HECS fees add annual inflation to the debt annually I think it would be cheaper for students to go to the UK and be trained as RNs, ENs at TAFE and return. Not hospital trained but equally employable here !

With a predicted shortage of over 100,000 nurses by 2025 I find it difficult to understand why highly skilled nurses have been made redundant, the recruitment of many nursing graduates has stopped, hospital beds closed and vital mental health services abandoned – in order to achieve so-called “savings”. Yet I continue to see foreign students gaining graduate TPP nurse positions over our own.
These so called cost-cutting exercises will not only impact on the remaining staff left to try and manage an already overburdened service but impact on the amount of safe, quality patient care delivered to Australians when they need it most.

I am a registered nurse working an ICU unit within the Royal Adelaide Hospital and have great understanding of the complex problems in providing high quality nursing care to patients in a health system which is facing increased cutbacks in funding and nursing positions for graduate nurses . This places an increase in pressure on the nurses within the public health sector in nursing an increasingly aging population with limited resources and staff to manage the patient population within the public hospital sector

Many Nurses at my hospital are only on 3 month contracts with no job security in the future. WHY ?
Many contracts have not been continued. So many new graduate nurses that are good nurses are not being offered positions with no hope or employment opertunity good trained nurses will leave this country and seek opertunity overseas.

Prevention is always going to be better than cure - how can it not be. It is ridiculous that anyone can even question that statement, not only does prevention save the Government money, it also saves peoples lives, and improves quality of life. Health promotion and disease prevention are vital roles, and need more funding, not a mass cut in funding!

It is dissappointing that in the government's attempt to increase funding towards chronic care they have found the need to withdraw funds in the prevention of chronic illnesses. Dietary and lifestyle change is the way to prevent exorbitant hospital expenditures including surgical and chronic care into the future. Wake up SA Health. Look at the long-term benefits rather than the here and now.

How can you sleep at night knowing you are cutting funds to services that may well not be able to help, or more importantly keep alive your child, wife/husband, mother/father or sister/brother when they are in need. The government we elected promised to increase funds dedicated to health, not cut them.

Prevention is better than cure in so many fields, education, social welfare and law and order as well as health.
Please put more resources into wellness and keeping people healthy. This will pay huge dividends in the long term. Look how road safety promotion, anti smoking campaigns have reduced the incidence, cost and trauma of death and injury in these areas.

Overwhelming evidence confirms that prevention activites are more cost-effective in the long term at improving public health, health equity. DON'T de-fund, wait and see the data and evaluation results in a few years, when ill-health and costs have been successfully avoided by SA Health's prevention foundations.

What is happening to the health system is insane! As it is we nurses work with a shortage of staff and supplies due to lack of funding. Vital services are being closed such at the SA Repat's AE Dept. Ramping is disgraceful and decisions like that add to an already serious problem. If the mentality to ignore health needs of this country continues, Australia is going to end up a very scary place to live! I can not fathom how such poor decisions can be made.

I was recently employed in a hospital avoidance community programme for older people. This has now ceased. It was proven to be affective and saving health dollars.Why axe something that is working? A programme worthwhile for South Australian families and a programme other states were keen of adopting? Many complaints have been uttered by GP's who were apart of the programme, client'sand their families.

What do the McCann review and Mr McGoo have in common? Both are terribly short sighted.

It is patently obvious that prevention, when it comes to health issues, is far better that cure, especially given that many lifestyle diseases, don't actually have a cure!

Not only is prevention a better pathway for people, it obviously costs less to administer. Wouldn't it be better to develop a strongly proactive health care system, that effectively reduces the pressure on our reactive health care system?

A preventative system should start with children in Kindergartens and continue throughout life, as different age and hereditary related issues, confront citizens.

In a country where poor lifestyle choices are the largest cause of chronic disease, our health care system should aim to educate and challenge people about the lifestyle choices they make, and provide them with information and support that will enable them to make wiser lifestyle choices and maintain wiser lifestyle behaviours.

To shelve preventative programs in order to make more money available for treatment, is even more short sighted than poor Mr McGoo - but, at least he had an excuse!

Community Based Health Care, not only makes sense, but is an evidenced based approach to managing the Health Costs for society. We could be preventing so many uneccessary, costly admissions to hospital now, if community health was funded appropriately. The idea of reducing funding just does not make any fiscal sense. It costs far less to prevent ilness than it does to treat it. Plain packaged cigarettes is just one example. We all know and understand the logic. It just takes the political will!

While it is acknowledged that health expenditure is at an all time high, failure to address the issues of chronic disease will only further increase the level of funding required to fix the ongoing burden of chronic disease. Preventative health care (GP business) is a fiscally prudent way to reduce healthcare expenditure in the future.
