I would like to thank Australia’s Deputy High Commissioner to Singapore, Ms Angela Robinson, and her staff at the High Commission in Singapore. To all of the Singapore officials we had the opportunity to meet, thank you very much for your generosity in hosting our delegation at your facilities and for helping to make this such a valuable visit.

Prior to embarking on this trade mission we had heard and read about Singapore’s reputation as a leader in health system innovation and its ability to respond to complex challenges to deliver excellence in health care. Along with the Health and Wellbeing Partnership Board, I look forward to drawing on these lessons to drive improvements across the ACT health system in the years to come.
