Affiliated Health Organisations. The Organisation is to enter into an annual Service Agreement with the following Affiliated Health Organisations (AHOs) in receipt of subsidies in respect of services recognised under Schedule 3 of the Health Services Act 1997: • Benevolent Society of New South Wales (Early Intervention Program / South West Sydney Scarba Services) • Hammondcare Health and Hospitals Limited (Braeside Hospital) • Karitane • NSW Service for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors (STARTTS) Section 130 of the Act provides for Local Health Districts exercising the delegated function (s.129) of determining subsidies for AHOs to enter into performance agreements with AHOs in respect of recognised establishments and established services and may detail performance targets and provide for evaluation and review of results in relation to those targets. Under s.130, the XXX is to report performance results to the Organisation within 3 months of the end of that year. While the Act requires a formal annual report, effective performance management will require more frequent reviews of progress against agreed priorities and service performance measures by the parties to the XXX Service Agreement. To ensure equity across NSW public health organisations in the governance of funding and performance, the Organisation will • Include AHO Chief Executive Officers in annual budget planning and negotiations • Determine subsidies for the XXX, with the key condition of subsidy being the Accounts and Audit Determination for Public Health Organisations • Include in the annual Service Agreement the operational performance targets, with performance thresholds, for the XXX • Evaluate and review performance against those targets and thresholds through quarterly meetings with the XXX Chief Executive Officers • Report those results to the Secretary, NSW Health each year 4 Budget
