Twelve sites across MLHD adopted a new electronic medication management system in 2018-2019. This means Doctors, Nurses and other medical staff can prescribe, order, check, dispense and record the administration of medicines using eMeds. 

The Health Services were backed up with infrastructure works, which includes the construction of the $224 million Griffith Base Hospital Redevelopment. The upgrades to the Temora operating theatre ensures locals have access to fantastic new theatre facilities. 

Ms Ludford thanks all health staffed who contributed to the high quality of service to all patients and clients. 

“I am passionate about ensuring every patient who comes in contact with us has a positive experience that contributes toward their comfort, recovery and wellbeing,”

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 26th and will be hosted at the Wagga RSL Club on Dobbs Street from 1PM - 4PM.
