services across Metro North. This has been a 12 month journey involving consultation with a large
number of Clinicians, Staff, Executive, Community and Health Partners.
The Board has endorsed the strategy which outlines the direction and priorities for the Health Service for
the next five years. Please refer to the following links – the Health Service Strategy 2015-20, Health
