Health Service Board
The Health Services Bill 2016 was enacted on 1 July 2016 to establish Western Australia's health services as separate, board-governed statutory authorities.
The East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) was established as a separate statutory authority, governed by a Board that is legally responsible and accountable for the delivery of safe, high-quality, efficient and economical health services to its local community.
