PAULA COX:

Government has to find ways of ensuring health care is more affordable for everyone, Ms Cox believes.

"I think we are on a good wicket with health care, but we have to continue to look at what we can do to improve access and find the right affordability model, not just for the consumer but for the Country," she said.

"We have to look at what we can do to make it more affordable and make sure we don't ring-fence those that can afford to pay."

And she says while the way FutureCare operates will be subject to review, it simply has to continue.

"We are refining it and reviewing it to make it cost-efficient and affordable," she said.

"If it isn't do-able, we will make some service changes. But it has to work."
