A Health Services Plan (HSP) outlines the health services required to meet the community’s health needs now and into the future and makes recommendations about the best way to deliver these services.
MLHD Chief Executive Jill Ludford said that communities play a critical role in the process of developing an HSP.
“Significant stakeholder engagement was undertaken involving consumers, community representatives, key stakeholders and health organisations,” said Ms Ludford.
“We thank the community for the positive response - over 300 people completed the Deniliquin Health Services Survey. Consultation sessions and community workshops were also held. Special thanks to Edward River Council and Deniliquin Local Health Advisory Committee, who provided exceptional support during the community consultation process.
“Some of main themes to come out of the stakeholder engagement were access to Primary Care services, transport systems and services, and care planning and coordination.”
The draft plan will now go on display for 4 weeks from 21 October – 18 November 2022. It will be available online on MLHD’s website, and paper copies will also be available to view at the Council Customer Service and Library in Deniliquin.
“We encourage residents of Deniliquin and surrounding communities to provide feedback about the Plan for their Health Service, and their future health needs, during the public exhibition period,” said Ms Ludford.
“The feedback will be assessed and incorporated into the plan where feasible. A summary of the feedback received will be included in the plan.”
