An inquiry has been called into health outcomes and access to health and hospital services in rural, regional and remote New South Wales.

Narrandera Shire Council will be providing a submission into the Inquiry with a view to ensuring regional communities like ours have fair access to quality health services.

To assist us in developing our submission, Council is seeking feedback from the community about your experiences and thoughts for all health-related services in our Shire.

This will help us to identify any common needs, areas of strength, and any gaps in services required to meet our health needs.

**Feedback deadline to Council is 4pm on Friday 27 November 2020

Please note that while submissions about individual health care experiences will inform the Inquiry’s thinking about the general provision and availability of health services in non-metropolitan areas, this inquiry will not be conducting investigations or reviews of individual cases.

Specific concerns about individual experiences can be raised with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission by calling 02 9219 7444 or emailing hccc@hccc.nsw.gov.au). Please note individuals can also make their own submission directly to the Inquiry.
