What is Resources for health care evaluation: Whither Australia? about?

In an era of accountability, no-one disputes anymore whether health care evaluation is a legitimate exercise. The hard questions are who is going to get it done and, above all, who is going to pay for it. Those questions were probably at the forefront of people's minds when attending a two-day workshop held in February 1985 in Canberra, Australia. The meeting was organized by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), which had brought together some 60 multidisciplinary professionals to review the situation in Australia-epidemiologists, economists, psychologists, medical and management scientists, and sociologists, inter alios. Some thirteen formal papers had been distributed beforehand; and issues raised by these texts were discussed in both plenary and syndicate sessions. NHMRC has distributed funds on behalf of the Australian Federal Government since 1936. It both commissions specific research projects and grants fellowships to those it considers to be promising research professionals. Its record of achievement is indisputable, while its orientation has been heavily biomedical to the comparative detriment of social and economic research-and researchers.
