The local member met with the head of the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) on Thursday, where they discussed the integrated clinical services plan that is being developed for Bathurst Health Service.

As part of that meeting, Mr Toole raised some of the issues that community members had brought to him.

"[The meeting] was also an opportunity for me to put forward to the local health district some of the matters that I heard from the community and clinicians about what we need for the community as we grow and expand," he said.

While Mr Toole acknowledged that the WNSWLHD had been consulting with medical staff, he felt he would be bringing to them the views of others they may not have spoken with.

It is understood that, as part of Thursday's meeting, Mr Toole presented a letter from the recently formed Bathurst Health Services Action Group.

The letter raised, among other concerns, the areas of the health service that had 'blatant shortfalls' and were therefore not able to meet the demands of the community.

These included emergency orthopaedics, anaesthetics, respiratory specialists, cardiology, obstetrics and gynaecology, gastric specialists, ophthalmology, vascular surgery, urology, palliative care, ear, nose and throat doctors, and emergency specialists.

The community action group, which includes unidentified medical professionals, plans to make a formal submission to the clinical services review with their concerns, in addition to the letter.

Mr Toole said that he will meet with the health district in six weeks time to see how the clinical services plan has progressed, and committed to fight for the services Bathurst needs in the future.

"I'll be making sure the views of the community continue to be heard, that we see some additional services and that [the health service] is going to have a strong future," he said.
