We carry out a Local Area Needs Assessment (LANA), every 3 years to show what the main health and service needs are for our region.
We build our LANA with input from our consumers, staff, and health service partners. We review this every year to make sure it reflects our present health needs.
Our priorities for the region

- Culturally safe services
