Subject: NSW Health futures planning process - sorry for any cross
posting Hi all,
I have recently found out through my
involvement as a consumer in Sydney South West Area Health
Service, that the NSW Health Department has embarked on a 'Futures
Planning' process to identify directions for public health in NSW over the
next 15-20 years.
I think this is a really important
opportunity to put forward our views about the future of public maternity
services.
The Dept is holding a series of public
consultations and people are also able to make submissions. See http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/futuresplanning/yoursay.html for
details. A copy of the consultation documents and details of an online
questionnaire can also be found on the site.
Details of locations for the consultation
meetings around the state can be found at http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/futuresplanning/com_meeting.html and
the meetings start in Western Sydney and Tamworth later this week.
I imagine that like most of these kind of
consultation processes, the more individual submissions and responses to
consultations that they receive, the more likely they are to respond to
community concern, so I would really encourage you and anyone else you know to
send in your views and/or attend a consultation meeting. Submissions, responses
etc close on 7 July, so people have a while, but the more people that
participate, the better.
Please also send this email around to anyone
else you can think of who would be interested.
Cheers,
Jo
