The communities of Milton, Ulladulla and surrounds are being encouraged to provide feedback on the Milton Ulladulla Hospital draft Health Service Plan by participating in consultation sessions during late September and early October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The draft Health Service Plan will guide the planning and development of health services at Milton Ulladulla Hospital to meet the community\u2019s health needs now and into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Members of the community are invited to provide feedback through a range of consultation activities, with both online and face-to-face options available. A dedicated consultation session will also be held to discuss maternity services on September 30th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The draft Plan has been developed using data, including population trends and projections, as well as considering evidence-based practices, value-based healthcare principles, and changes to how healthcare will be delivered in the future. Extensive feedback from key clinical and non-clinical staff and stakeholders has also helped inform the draft Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The draft Health Service Plan and a summary document are available on the Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD) website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Community consultation opportunities include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pop-up information stalls (drop in \u2013 no registration required)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Community consultation sessions (registrations required)<\/p>\n\n\n\n To assist with planning, the community are asked to register for the consultation sessions by visiting the ISLHD website<\/a>, phoning Milton Ullladulla Hospital main switch on 4454 9100, or in person at the hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Feedback can also be provided by completing the online survey or emailing: ISLHD-YourSay@health.nsw.gov.au<\/a>.
