Vietnamese Primary Health Care Network    

Evaluation, July 2004

The Vietnamese Primary Health Care Network Project started in April 2003. The Network is designed to make it easier for GPs to refer to Fairfield Health Service and other health services in Fairfield. You have involved with the Network in April 2003.

Funding for the network was due to end in September 2004.  However the Fairfield GP Division is keen to keep it going and will continue the funding.

We are currently evaluating the Network so far and would welcome your feedback about your experience of the Network, and any suggestions you may have for improving it in the future. It will take about 10 minutes of your time to fill in this questionnaire.

This evaluation will form part of an independent evaluation conducted by the Department of Health of the Fairfield Network and 5 other primary health care networks. You are welcome to make any additional comments to the independent evaluator, Dr Ida Vincent. Dr Vincent can be contacted on 4861 2555.

Any comments you make will be treated in confidence.
