Alfred Hospital
Overview
As recommended by the Economic and Budget Review Committee in its November 1987 report to Parliament concerning accountability requirements for public hospitals in Victoria, it is in the public interest to provide Parliament, the Health Department Victoria and hospital management with an objective and independent assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of management procedures involved in a public hospital. The findings of the review will to some extent be applicable to all public hospitals and serve as a basis for improved resource management by the Health Department Victoria throughout the hospital sector. This review presents audit observations and recommendations in such areas as medical and nursing services, property management, catering, cleaning, medical and surgical supplies and equipment.
