(2) Contract documentation is on hold until health service planning is finalised, and appropriate facility requirements are determined for this Health Service. (3) Implementation of the Health Administrative Review Committee (HARC) recommendations for all rural Health Services is being undertaken by the HARC implementation committee. The HARC Report (page 17) included the following recommendations for non-metropolitan (country) health services: '7. (i)A review be carried out over a six month period to develop the optimal approach to administration and co-ordination of non-metropolitan Boards and services. 7. (ii) The needs and concerns of non-metropolitan residents, local government and other relevant parties should be sought through an extensive consultation process.
