AMA submission to Scope of Practice Review – Issues Paper 2

The AMA is disappointed and frustrated by Issues Paper 2, which sets out potential reform options without anchoring these within a robust and coherent framework that would protect quality and safety, guard against fragmentation of care, encourage good models of care, avoid significant extra costs to the health system and recognise the need to support generalist practice. The paper is at times high-level and lacking in detail and in other examples overly specific in recommending models of care with no evidence.
