Legge, DG_1985_DHCsStudyTourReport. The proposal to establish district health councils (DHCs) was first announced in September 1983. The broad parameters of the proposed Program were set out in that announcement. From the earliest it was recognised that the proposed Program was an innovative development within the Victorian context and that careful attention to overseas models would be wise. The present report presents the findings of a study tour undertaken by the Coordinator (July August 1985), a discussion of selected topics, and recommendations arising from overseas observations for the development of the District Health Councils Program.
