Social Insurance Scheme for Dental Care costed

In addition to its Interim Report, which was highlighted in an ADAVB Blog Post earlier today, the Health and Hospitals Reform Commission has released a detailed discussion paper Costing a Social Insurance Scheme for Dental Care - November 2008 (PDF 300 KB).

The introduction to the report notes that:
"PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) was requested by the Secretariat of the National Health and Hospital Reform Commission (the Commission) to estimate the cost of the proposed National Oral Health scheme (the Scheme), a national social insurance scheme for dental care focussing on preventative and restorative dental services. This report also discusses a number of key issues and risks which we have identified whilst performing our analysis."
