DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND AGEING
Section 1: Agency Overview and Resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION
Since the 2011-12 Budget the Government has announced more than $494 million
over four years of spending initiatives to improve critical health and aged care services,
including new and amended listings under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme which
include:




Xgeva® (denosumab), for the treatment of bone metastases from breast
cancer and hormone resistant prostrate cancer;
Mabthera® (rituximab), for the treatment of a specific form of chronic
lymphocytic leukaemia;
Erbitux® (cetuximab), for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer; and
Gilenya® (fingolimod), for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple
sclerosis.
The department is currently working to implement an extensive efficiency program
announced as part of the 2011-12 Budget. This will result in a portfolio with a flexible
approach to the funding of health priorities and staff that are better enabled and
supported to deliver on the Government’s agenda effectively and efficiently. Following
the Government's decision to increase the Efficiency Dividend from 1.5% to 4% in
2012-13, the department is positioning itself to achieve further efficiencies in the
second half of 2011-12. In conjunction with a reduction in staffing, the department is
looking at the way it delivers some core programs so effort can be focussed on
delivering legislative and regulatory responsibilities and the Government's priorities,
including health reform.
