Local Health Areas


    The Local Health Areas (LHA) were update in 2018. According to the Ministry of Health: "Integrated Analytics team has advised that there were very minor changes, affecting perhaps 100 or so residents in the whole province. The nature of the [Community Health Service Areas] CHSA project was to introduce new regions within the LHAs, not redraw old boundaries."
