Specific Purpose Programs in Human Services and Health: Moving from an Input to an Output and Outcome Focus

Abstract: The content and control mechanisms of specific purpose programs are regularly under review, currently through processes associated with the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), with most proposals for reform in this area arguing for a shift to a focus on outputs or outcomes.

These problems may not be relieved entirely by independent regulation to protect consumer interests, as has been suggested (Duckett & Swerissen 1996). For a parallel case regarding employment services, see the Commonwealth Ombudsman's submission to Senate 1998-9; Moyle cited in Crossland (1999), and Alford & Gullo (2000).…”

Her skiller perspektivet seg fra konsumenttenkninga som er outputorientert, mens det er sammenfall med rettighetsdiskursen som også er outcomeorientert.…”
