Parliamentary committee to consider splitting Hunter New England Health

25th Feb 2025

Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan has encouraged the public to have their say on the introduction of the Health Services Amendment (Splitting of the Hunter New England Health District) Bill 2025.
The proposed Bill aims to dissolve the current Hunter New England Local Health District to establish two new districts - Hunter Local Health District and the New England Northwest Local Health District.
The Bill has been referred to the Legislative Assembly Committee on Community Services which means the wider Hunter and New England communities will be able to have their say on the proposed changes.
Mr Moylan believes the referral to a NSW Parliamentary Committee is important as it is the public who are affected by the current healthcare situation in the region.
“Splitting the health district has overwhelming public support,” he said.
“I want to advocate better healthcare outcomes because the New England and Northwest regions are the ones who are crying out for better healthcare services.
“Having the Bill referred to a committee will see the public have the option of having input into the future of healthcare within the Hunter and New England regions.
“I will let the communities know when further details are released, and submissions are open.”
