As parties debate health spending commitments and fiscal priorities, the College is asking a simple question: who will deliver the care?
Our new white paper, Workforce stability as a foundation for health equity, argues that improving health equity requires sustained investment in the general practice workforce, particularly in communities already facing the highest levels of unmet need.
The paper highlights the impact that workforce shortages can have on access, continuity of care and culturally safe services, and calls on the next Government to prioritise workforce stability as a foundation for reducing health inequities.
The paper is available on our website.
