For the count
Anyone wanting to report on Australia's health system needs to have facts and figures to work with. The Parliamentary Library has produced a new eBrief,
Healthy measures - key health statistics, to inform people about
what health statistics exist and how often they appear. The eBrief describes the key statistics that allow the performance of the Australian health system to be measured. These include figures for government health expenditure, Medicare, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, hospitals, medical workforce and private health insurance. International data is provided for comparative purposes. The full eBrief is at
