Part A: Background and Scope of the RREF Review The RREF will not distribute resources to providers or to local areas, but only at the regional level. Information generated in the Review may however be useful in regional and local planning, together with other kinds of local information. The Review has been undertaken with the goal of advancing equity in the HACC program. Achievement of this outcome will be furthered if complementary measures can be taken in other areas of the program as part of the implementation strategy for any revised RREF. <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Report</strong> July 2001 14
PART B: DEVELOPMENT OF OPTIONS FOR A REVISED RREF The development of options for the revised RREF proceeded in four steps, as set out in Chart 1, and outcomes were developed in a further three steps reported in Part C. This part of the report draws on the material presented in the Consultation Paper and Options Paper and the discussions in both rounds of Consultations. At each step, any further issues arising are canvassed and further investigations and analyses undertaken by the Consultancy Team are noted. The extent to which preferred options emerged is identified and these options have been then taken into account in modelling the outcomes reported in Part C; where no clear preferred options are identified and a range of options have been modelled.
