MEssage FROM the chairman Trevor Danos AM
Nearly a million Sydneysiders depend on the district for their hospital and community healthcare needs. Our district has seen some of the greatest number of cases of COVID 19. This has meant a heavier workload for the district than others and breaking new ground in dealing with the challenges that have presented themselves. Our community is blessed to have a frontline response team of such quality. The district’s successes to date are the product of strong and transparent leadership, outstanding clinical advice being given by our senior doctors to our Chief Executive, open communication, remaining calm and not giving way to panic, a respectful culture, a well-executed pandemic plan and agility in developing and rolling out new plans. The Board continues to work closely with the Chief Executive to provide all support and to ensure that whatever resources are needed are identified and made available.
The focus on COVID 19 and the preparation for the winter flu season inevitably mean that some business-as-usual activities and current initiatives across the district will need to be paused. The Board and the Chief Executive are working to ensure that this is minimised and that where it is unavoidable, it is done in a way that allows a rapid resumption when things return to normal. On behalf of the district, I would like to thank the community for its co-operation and understanding of the need to stay at home, social distance, and avoid visiting hospitals as much as possible. These are exceptionally challenging times for everyone, but by all working together as a community, we can save more lives.
