The Council of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, the Queensland Mental Health Commission, and the Office of the Health Ombudsman make up the remainder of the Health Portfolio. The 2015-16 State Budget provided additional funding of $2.302 billion over four years including $426.9 million in 2016-17 to ensure that health and ambulance services keep pace with the ongoing growth in demand for these services. This additional funding has provided Queensland Health with funding certainty to ensure the healthcare system is robust and able to respond to both medium term and emerging challenges. The drivers of the increasing demand for health services are diverse. They include a population that is growing and ageing, an increasing prevalence of chronic disease, an expanding range of new treatment options and technological interventions, as well as heightened expectations from the community and consumers around their healthcare needs. Along with these drivers of demand, Queensland faces the additional challenge of continuing to provide equitable access to quality healthcare across Queensland's unique landscape and relatively decentralised population, combined with changes to Commonwealth funding arrangements. In order to meet these challenges while ensuring that the health system provides services that represent value for money, Queensland Health must continue to become more efficient by embracing technological advances such as Digital Hospitals and telehealth, focusing on hospital avoidance strategies such as integrated and alternative models of care, and driving health promotion and prevention measures. The recently released 10 Year Vision: My Health, Queensland’s Future: Advancing Health 2026 provides a strong platform to enable Queensland Health to focus and strengthen its decision-making and policy development over the next decade. The vision outlines that by 2026 Queenslanders will be among the healthiest people in the world and this outcome will be guided by five core principles of: Sustainability; Compassion; Inclusion; Excellence; and Empowerment. The health system directly supports the Queensland Government’s priorities and objectives for the community by keeping people healthier and productive. The vision also builds on the Government’s Advance Queensland suite of initiatives which aim to harness innovation and create jobs for the future. The 2015-16 Budget also provided an additional $320.3 million over four years to deliver the Government’s health related election commitments. Key priority areas of need included: the nursing workforce; preventative health; patient safety; and mental health. To date, all of the Government’s election commitments are delivered or on track. Highlights for 2015-16 across priority areas include: Nursing Workforce recruiting 16 nurse educators across HHSs to coach, mentor and support up to 4,000 additional graduate nurses and midwives to be recruited over the next four years recruiting the first 50 of 400 new nurse navigators to facilitate the patient journey across the health sector, and
