Summary
The aim of this document is:
1 To determine whether, in all metropolitan and A1 group hospitals, it is universally more costly to treat paediatric patients compared with adult patients for similar clinical conditions.
2 To determine the level of quaternary or statewide inpatient services provided by the Royal Children’s Hospital compared with adult hospitals that have a similar requirement of being a provider of statewide services.
3 To determine the extent that provision of such statewide services results in a cost of service provision that is not reasonably met by the Victorian casemix funding.
