has been meeting on a bi-monthly basis. It has been
established to assist the Board to play a complementary
role in interagency planning. Its role is to also assist with
the integration of the health services in the catchment
area, particularly with regard to the primary care and acute
sectors. It will assist the Board in identifying community
health needs with a view to establishing innovative programs
to improve the accessibility and responsiveness of Northern
Health services.
This will include direct service partnerships with other health
and community services, commissioning research in relevant
areas and working in partnership with other local agencies
on health promotion schemes. The Committee was resourced
by Ms Eileesh Diviney (Manager, Partnerships) until November
2009, then by Mr Gerry O’Donnell (Manager, Partnerships).
