Government funding for car parking infrastructure is becoming an increasingly prominent issue in healthcare as both staff and patients struggle with car parking fees and shortages at hospitals and community health centres.
Should employees and patients be burdened with paying for parking? Could the funds used for car parking infrastructure instead be used to enhance patient care? Is the private sector the only winner in the current model?
Watch two teams battle it out as they debate whether State and Federal Government should fund or contribute to funding the development of hospital and community health centre car parks.
Community health has long been the poor cousin in health services, particularly in relation to infrastructure. However, as more hospitals shift towards alternative models of care that bring services back into the community, it’s important to apply learnings from the community health sector to the hospital setting to create greater efficiencies and better health outcomes in the long-term.
