An ageing population, an increased incidence of chronic disease and advances in medical science are expanding the demand for healthcare services across the community. Waiting lists and bed shortages are symptoms of the problem.
Both public and private sector healthcare providers are feeling the strain.
They are experiencing growing pressure on revenues, costs and access to capital. They must also keep up to date on changing government regulation and complex accounting rules.
