  8. Health reform – The labyrinth Medicare locals will:- • work with local health care professionals to ensure services cooperate and collaborate with each other so that patients can easily and conveniently access the full range of services they need; • facilitate allied health care and other support for people with chronic conditions, as identified in personalised care plans prepared by GPs; • identify groups of people missing out on GP and primary health care, or services that a local area needs, and better target services to respond to these gaps, for example, targeting gaps in GP services for aged care recipients; • work with LHNs to identify the best pathways between services, and to assist with patients’ transitions out of hospital, and where relevant into aged care; • deliver health promotion and preventive health programs targeted to risk factors in communities, in cooperation with the National Preventive Health Agency, once it is established; • as needed in the execution of other functions, undertake population level planning and potential fund-holding roles in areas of market failure and where patient needs are not being met.
