This paper provides a clear view of how publicly funded hospital activity has responded to additional expenditure. It establishes a baseline on acute care productivity, and highlights where activity improvements are possible based on a “whole-of-site” analysis. The identified divergence between resourcing and activity is a major concern. We must respond coherently with clarity on how targeted improvements can be made to service delivery in the acute setting. In doing so we will listen to staff who are best placed to identify where change can be delivered.
