The Minister of Health, the Hon. Kim N. Wilson JP MP, met today with members of the Health Financing Reform Stakeholder Consultation Group (photos attached). This group is tasked with providing feedback to the Government on options being considered to help achieve affordable and accessible healthcare for all.
The purpose of the Ministry’s Health Financing Reform initiative is to deliver Goal 9 of the Bermuda Health Strategy (BHS), whose Mission is: “To provide affordable and sustainable healthcare for all Bermuda residents”. Goal 9, in particular, is that “Bermuda’s health system shall be financed through the most cost-effective means available to reduce complexity and duplication and improve efficiency.”
The role of the Health Financing Reform Stakeholder Consultation Group is to review the financing options and analysis prepared in the 2012 Report on a Health Financing Structure, and provide feedback to the Ministry about how the options presented may impact the people of Bermuda and, more specifically, key stakeholder groups.
