NNSWLHD hospitals experience high emergency department and planned surgery activity.

Children living with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Northern NSW and their families are benefiting from a partnership between paediatricians and general practitioners that aims to streamline access to care and treatment.  

More than 250 children are already being cared for under the model which was launched in September 2024 and allows patients to transition to care with their local GP after first seeing a paediatrician to confirm the diagnosis. The GP is then responsible for ongoing prescribing and monitoring of ADHD medication.
