In this introduction, we explain how we came to undertake these particular studies, and describe the research methods we have used. Other commentaries and assessments based on the research program of which these studies were a part are being published elsewhere, and are noted briefly at the end of this introduction. There is now a huge international literature on privatisation, both supportive and critical; as one of the major privatising techniques, public enterprise divestment commands an important place in this literature.

  • Australian Association Doctors in Developmental Disability Medicine

    Australian Association of Developmental Disability Medicine Inc. 8 May 2011 Productivity Commission Australian Government RE: Disability Care and Support Public inquiry The Australian Association of Developmental Disability Medicine (AADDM) is a national organisation of medical practitioners who are committed to improving health outcomes for people with intellectual disability. The members of the association provide clinical medical services directly to people (children, adolescents and adults) with intellectual disability, as well as research, education and policy advice to government. We would like to provide the following submission to the productivity commission. Please also find as attachments a recent AADDM proposition of the Place of People with Intellectual Disability in Mental Health Reform and an AADDM position statement on the Health of People with Intellectual Disabilities. AADDM strongly supports a review of the long term disability care and support scheme. We agree that the current system is fragmented, underfunded and unpredictable. Parents and carers often feel frustrated and extremely concerned about the future welfare of their child. We commend the Australian Government on rising to the challenge of improving this system to better support people with intellectual disabilities. We would like to emphasise the following issues and concerns; 1. The quality of life of people with intellectual disability is dependent on an acceptable level of general physical and mental health. Current evidence highlights major inequities in access to health services and health outcomes. 2. Improving health services is a cornerstone of improving health outcomes, and this system must involve an effectively integrated primary and specialist health care network for both physical and mental health.
