Abstract

This report is the result of a seminar bringing together providers, experts in paediatrics, health service managers, purchasers and clinicians. Its purpose was to explore integrated child health care, its benefits and problems, and to put together a submission for the Select Committee to inform their work. The main issues arising from the day were the Children's Contract, achieving integration within a market system and across the territorial boundaries between disciplines and services, health authorities' capability to purchase children's services, policy focus for children and the lack of expertise in primary care.
