Budget roadshows across the district Budget roadshows were held across the district to illustrate to staff the highlights of the 2024/25 financial year.
“We are still in a period of financial recovery but we have made significant progress to restore our financial position and that is due to the hard work of managers and staff.”
Before getting down to fiscal business, staff were treated to a presentation on the organisation’s achievements, milestones and highlights from services such as digital health and people and culture. Chief Executive Anthony Schembri, Executive Director of Finance Jacqueline Ferguson and Executive Director, Operations Lee Gregory joined general managers at each hospital and services to provide the budget snapshot. Some of the financial highlights were a reduction in nursing overtime, a reduction in spending on goods and services, resulting in a stabilised financial position for NSLHD. For the year ahead, the NSW Health State Budget represents $37.2 billion which is a quarter of the NSW Budget. “I would like to thank all the general managers and executive teams for leading their hospitals and services through some challenging financial times,’’ Anthony said. one of our senior research governance managers has been named a finalist in the NSW Health Research Administrator Awards.
