iv Primary Health Branch policy and funding guidelines––2006–07 to 2008–09 (2008–09 update) PCP development work to be introduced from June 2009 includes: improved Integrated Health Promotion Performance Measures for all Primary Health programs funded for health promotion; and a revised suite of the Service Coordination Tool Templates as part of a continuous improvement approach to service coordination. I look forward to working with the sector and relevant government program partners over the coming year to promote the delivery of quality primary health care services in Victoria. I am committed to supporting the development of more coordinated, timely, high quality services which improve health outcomes for all Victorians, particularly those at most disadvantage.
