Spatial equity in the distribution of aged care services.

Author: Gibson, D., Braun, P., Liu, Z.
Year: 2000
Type: Report

Abstract:

Geographic characteristics and social conditions in rural and remote areas often mean greater difficulty and costs in terms of providing aged care services. This paper aims to address the spatial equity issue by analysing aged care services (both residential and community based aged care services) by four geographic categories: capital cities, other metropolitan areas, rural areas, and remote areas. Nursing home type patients, multi purpose services and services approved under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Aged Care Strategy are included in the analysis. Issues covered include: the supply of residential care; supply of Home and Community Care Services; and Commonwealth recurrent expenditure on these services.
