After consistent advocacy to our PHN (Central Qld Wide Bay Sunshine Coast) to work collaboratively with Little Haven to build capacity and sustainability of our service and seek input and clarity of how funds will be allocated if the PHN is successful in securing funding though the federally funded Greater Choices at Home Palliative Care measure— CEO Sue Manton was invited by Pattie Hundson (PHN CEO) to a meeting at PHN office to discuss the implications for the region of this project funding. Also in attendance was Jane Campbell (PHN); Jo Pennel (PHN) and Cang Dang (SCHHS)
Little Haven CEO will continue pressure for equitable funding for our community based palliative care model and to ensure something useful comes of this additional $8.3 million funding boost and does not just become an exercise in scoping and resource production rather than increasing genuine palliative workforce capacity.
