(a)
Constant price expenditure expressed in 2006-07 prices, using the State and Territory implicit price
deflators for general government final consumption expenditure on hospital clinical services (table
12A.69).
(b) Depreciation is excluded for all years.
(c) See the National Mental Health Report 2007 for a full description of data sources and analysis.
(d) Mainstreaming has occurred at different rates in different jurisdictions. In Victoria’s case, the data for
psychiatric hospitals comprises mainly forensic services, since nearly all general psychiatric treatment
occurs in mainstreamed units in general acute hospitals. This means that the client profile and service
costs are very different from those of a jurisdiction where general psychiatric treatment still occurs
mostly in psychiatric hospitals.
(e) For Queensland, 2003-04 and 2004-05 data for psychiatric and public acute hospitals have been
revised. Queensland data for general hospitals include costs associated with two extended treatment
units that report through general acute hospitals. Queensland does not provide acute services in
psychiatric hospitals.
(f) WA data for public acute hospitals in 2002-03 have been revised.
(g) ACT data for public acute hospitals in 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-05 have been revised.
(h) NT data for public acute hospitals in 2002-03 and 2004-05 have been revised.
