To the Editor: Duckett rightly points out that community knowledge and expectations of the delivery of medical services have increased in recent years, and that the “baby boomers” of today will not accept the hospitals of yesteryear.1 He claims that the Australian health system has responded to technological change, but not to sociological change.
