Diagnostic Economic Committee (DEC)
                 

The College became involved in negotiations with the Government on economic issues in the late 1960’s. The Diagnostic Economic Committee has been a standing committee of the College since 1974 when it replaced a Fees Committee set up to investigate the Health Insurance Planning Report, known as the Deeble Report, as it applied to Radiologists. The College’s increasing involvement in negotiations on economic issues was based on the view that it was necessary and proper that Council should safeguard the interests of its members.

The main aims of the Diagnostic Economic Committee are:

  • To review and analyse the economic impact of issues which affect the radiology profession and the provision of radiology services in Australia

  • To provide advice and assistance to the College Council in relation to the College’s responsibilities as a party to the Radiology Quality and Outlays MoU and the Obstetric and Gynaecological Ultrasound Quality and Outlays MoU and as a stakeholder in the management of the Nuclear Medicine Quality and Outlays MoU

  • To liaise with the Department of Health and Ageing (DHA) and the Australian Diagnostic Imaging Association (ADIA) in regard to the quality, affordable, cost effective delivery of publicly funded Radiology and O & G Ultrasound services under Medicare

However, Dr Andrews said that this concern about CT should not be about blaming doctors. He said that Radiologists are always concerned to minimise all risks including radiation risks to patients from ionising imaging examinations;
