The Department of Health has drawn up a five-year plan to improve the Island's community healthcare.
The new initiative outlines key areas where patients can be treated closer to home, instead of at the hospital.
The government says the strategy will improve the hospital's efficiency and make life easier for patients.
Director of Healthcare Delivery Norman McGregor-Edwards says it's not about cutting costs:
