Local Health Districts Clinical Support Division Functions

Summary

NSW’s Clinical Support Division will have three main roles:

1. Support and assist Local Health Districts to start up on 1 January 2011, and progressively transition to full operation;
2. Preserve and support ongoing development of clinical networks. This was a recurring theme of the consultation process. Clinicians requested that we ensure the new structure preserved highly successful clinical networks and that the networks continue to be developed within the new LHD structure;
3. Provide access for Local Health Districts to the best expertise and technical support available in the NSW public health system. This approach enables NSW to comply with the National Health Reform Agreement (Clause A15) that stipulates there should be no increase in the number of health bureaucrats, despite the transition from eight Area Health Services to 17 Local Health Districts.
