One-third of the social and economic burden of chronic disease suffered by Tasmanians is preventable, if we invest in prevention. The financial benefit for the state budget from taking pressure off under-pressure health services can be as high as $14:1 for every dollar spent. We call for the state government to be directing just 5% of state health spending to preventive programs by 2034.
