Health care services in the Yass Valley are to be further examined as the Local Health District investigates the birthing needs of local women.
Â
The commitment to boost the planning process follows a meeting last week, attended by Health Minister, Brad Hazzard, local member, Wendy Tuckerman, Yass Valley councillor, Jasmin Jones and health district officers.
Â
District Acting Chief Executive, Jude Constable says a stepped approach will be used to look at the antenatal and postnatal needs of Yass district women.
Â
There would be consultation with the local community as well as an evidence based approach to inform future planning of maternity services.
Â
Ms Constable says an appropriate model of care would take into consideration such things as service quality, safety, sustainability, equity and access.
Â
Recommendations will be made in early 2020 and these will inform models of care for local maternity needs in the Yass Valley.
