Reform Project

Consultation regarding the Continuing Care Stream within the Reform Project is ongoing, with a further planning session scheduled for this Thursday 17 March 2022. Members were emailed with the responses from Chris Fox in reply to questions raised by members and the ANMF during and since the last planning session, which took place on Friday 25 February 2022. That response also included answers to some outstanding Reform Project questions that have been raised since 2020.

It is anticipated that Chris Fox will answer all other questions submitted by all parties, since the meeting on Friday 25 February on Thursday 17 March 2022. It has been agreed that this will be followed by a written summary of the responses. Once the written summary has been received, the ANMF will organise a further member meeting to discuss any outstanding matters and the next steps.
