About the Surgical Services Taskforce

The Surgical Services Taskforce (SST) was established to optimise access to elective surgery for patients within the NSW Health system.

In conjunction with Local Health Districts, the SST examines ways to improve surgical service provision and to develop and implement new models of care.

The SST is currently focussed on the management of hip fracture patients, improvements in operating theatre efficiency and the surgical management of rare and complex cancers.
