Where to next?
The report includes a number of recommendations for HFA to discuss and work through with other stakeholders such as state and territory Foundations, HTCs, other health care services and governments. You will find the recommendations at the front of the full report.
This is a priority area for HFA and we are excited to be embarking on the next stage of our work to achieve our vision of ‘active, independent and fulfilling lives’ for older people with bleeding disorders.
