New dates have been set for a public hearing being held as part of a NSW parliamentary inquiry looking at a proposal to split the Hunter New England Health District into two separate districts – Hunter Local Health District and the New England North West LHD.

A spokesperson for Member for Barwon Roy Butler’s office told The Courier a hearing will be held in Narrabri on August 12 and Tamworth August 13. The hearing was scheduled for June 16 but had to be postponed after committee members and staff were unable to travel due to an aircraft engineering issue.

A further report will feature in a future edition.
