The Service Plan outlines the responsibilities, key performance standards and funding support for NT Regional Health Services (NTRHS) in the delivery of health services.
The Service Plan is issued in accordance with the requirements of the Health Service Act 2021 and operates in conjunction with the Performance Framework, which provides the process for monitoring and managing NTRHS performance against Service Plan requirements including remediation of underperformance. The Service Plan is also issued to comply with requirements of the National Health Reform Agreement (NHRA). NTRHS is the NT’s sole Local Hospital Network for the purposes of the NHRA.
The success of this Service Plan depends on the strong shared commitment between the System Manager and NTRHS, supported by open and effective communication, to achieve the best health outcomes from available resources.
This Plan is effective from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023.
