The recently released Hospital Authority Strategic Plan charts the HA's direction and strategy for the coming five years. Themed Consolidating for Health, the 2012-2017 Strategic Plan underscores the importance of staff in the HA's development. "The new Plan places great emphasis on allaying staff shortages and high turnover rates, and includes a framework for attracting, retaining and motivating employees," explains HA Chief Executive Dr PY Leung.

The strategic planning process was led by the HA Board. Extensive consultations were held with around 750 internal and external stakeholders, including clinicians, nurses, allied health professionals, hospital governing committees, senior executives from hospitals and HA Head Office, staff groups and patient groups. Dr Leung says: "By implementing the comprehensive strategy outlined in the new Plan, we hope that HA's workforce capacity will be further enhanced. This will enable us to better manage the growing demand for our services while continuing to ensure high standards of service quality and safety."

The Plan will be reviewed every year. Strategies and priorities that necessitate the redistribution of or additional resources will be implemented and monitored through the annual planning mechanism.
