WELCOMING REMARKS
Dr Diana O’Halloran
Chair
NSW General Practice Council
1. Making a start – organising and operating principles

  • NH&HRC values, principles and goals
  • Are these values, principles and goals apparent in current reform plans?
  • What about the blame game – resolved or still an issue?
  • If yes, what are the likely outcomes
2. LHNs and PHCOs – the end of the process or the mid-point

  • The end or the middle of the reform process
  • Latest reform evolutions in developed countries
  • What does this mean for our health system
  • What does it mean for system governance
3. Whole of system governance

  • Governance – meaning and purpose
  • Working towards a “top down, bottom up” system
  • Governance functions and structures at national, state, regional and local levels and why
4. Transitioning from current frameworks to future structures

  • The challenge of preserving and building on what works now
  • The challenge of moving from intermittent, inconsistent program funding to sustained, systematic service financing
  • LHNs, PHCOs and population based planning
5. Examining what will LHNs look like

  • Size, structure and service scope
  • How will they be governed
  • Who will sit on the governing councils
  • What role will they play - now and in the future
6. What will PHCOs look like

  • Primary health care – defining what it is
  • Examining how current reforms lead to a stronger, more integrated and equitable PHC system
  • What role will they play: planners or purchasers, now and in the future
  • Addressing who will be the corporate members and how will they be governed
  • Broadening divisional membership without losing GP engagement and leadership
  • Who will sit on the boards?
  • How can key stakeholders influence PHCO directions and decisions
