FED:Gillard hails hospital reform deal=3

Ms Gillard said funding under the agreement would be distributed according to an efficient
price for services.

The price would be set by a national independent authority.

The authority would enable the government "to see where the best and most efficient
hospital practice is being pursued and then to spread that best practice".

As well, the MyHospital website will enable the public to see where the money is being
spent and how services are delivered at their local hospital.
