The MNCAHS is the fastest growing rural health service in New South Wales and has a higher than state average proportion of adults aged over 65 years, attributable to both demographic ageing and high levels of migration to the area. In cooperation with a non-government residential aged care facility in the area the MNCAHS proposed to establishing a slow stream rehabilitation/transitional care service to provide programs to elderly patients that stimulate independence with the aim of returning the clients to their home with appropriate services (if necessary). The HIA looked at the health impacts of providing a slow stream rehabilitation/transitional care service and assess the impacts on all stakeholders including; patients, their carers, the community, hospitals and community health services.
