The Performance Framework (The Framework) is built on a shared commitment between the System Manager and the NT Regional Health Services (NTRHS) to work together to deliver better health for all Territorians and improve access to efficient, timely, quality, patient focused health care across the NT. The annual Service Plan is central to the Framework in setting out the funding and service delivery expectations of NTRHS. The Framework is consistent with the requirements of the NT Health Service Act 2021 and the National Health Reform Agreement (NHRA) and outlines a performance management and accountability system, including agreed processes to collaboratively remediate unsatisfactory performance.
