Dr Ian Kamerman, Secretary, RDA NSW, spoke today at the Committee on Community Services public hearing in Sydney. The hearing was part of the Committee's inquiry into the Splitting of the Hunter New England Local Health District (HNELHD). On behalf of members, the RDA NSW made a submission to the inquiry advising that the RDA NSW does not support the splitting of the LHD. Instead focus should be on implementing the recommendations from the Special Commission of Inquiry into NSW Funding and including servicing patients in Service Level Agreements between the Minstry of Health and Local Health Districts.
