HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS AVOIDABLE WITH ACTION ON SOCIAL DETERMINANTS (NSW)

As one of the country's most vocal advocates for action on the social determinants of health, Catholic Health Australia (CHA) is lamenting further evidence that avoidable hospital admissions are costing New South Wales hundreds of millions of dollars as health inequity remains rampant across the state. Fairfax Media analysis of NSW Health data shows a two-tiered health system continues to develop with the poorest areas of the state also the places where people are likely to be the unhealthiest. As we start the first full week of 2013, we're once again confronted with the unacceptable situation whereby people suffer poor health in disproportionate numbers in Australia's poorer suburbs, said Catholic Health Australia CEO Martin Laverty.
