MLHD is responsible for the operation of public hospital and health institutions and provide health services to communities within its geographical area.
Our primary purpose is to:
• Provide relief to sick and injured people through the provision of care and treatments and
• Promote, protect and maintain the health of the community.
The NSW State Plan identifies two key goals for NSW health services:
• Keeping people healthy and out of hospital
• Providing world class service with timely access and effective infrastructure
Priorities identified for all LHDs in NSW are to focus on patient-centred care, effective
administration of services, greater local decision-making and enhanced clinician and community engagement.
