Victoria signs up to health reform AFTER months of bickering over who should run hospitals, the Victorian Premier John Brumby will sign up to the Federal Government's $5.4 billion takeover of the health system today. The agreement would deliver funding for 332 extra sub-acute beds in Victoria's hospitals, Mr Brumby said. The Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, and Mr Brumby will sign the Council of Australian Governments health agreement after a tour of Melbourne's Alfred Hospital Elective Surgery Centre. Mr Brumby agreed to the plan last month after protracted negotiations that included Mr Rudd giving greater funding control to the states than was first offered. Western Australia is the only state or territory not part of the reform package, with Premier Colin Barnett refusing to hand over 30 per cent of the state's GST revenue.
