Hospital and Health Boards
There are 16 Hospital and Health Services (HHSs) within Queensland, each comprising a network of public hospitals and health services within a geographic or functional area. HHSs are responsible for the delivery of public health services in their geographical area. The only exception is Children’s Health Queensland HHS which has state-wide responsibility and offers a range of specialist paediatric services across Queensland.
Queensland’s 16 Hospital and Health Boards (Boards) control the relevant HHS for which it is established.
The Board is accountable to the Minister for Health and Ambulance Services (the Minister) for the HHSs performance. HHSs are required to comply with whole-of-government governance frameworks, including planning, reporting and financial accountability requirements.
