Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare
Management of Chronic Care Illness: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. Brian Osborne:
There is the CHO structure and organisations with the nine areas and ten teams. As such, there will be 90 primary care teams. If one is going to divide it, and that is going to be population based, it would be reasonable to have a cohort of allied health professionals per team in that 90. That would make sense and would be a fairer allocation of resources.
