NSW Labor secured the numbers to get the Health outcomes and access to health and hospital services in rural, regional and remote NSW inquiry underway in September.

It was prompted by allegations of lives lost or put at risk through dysfunction in public hospitals in places such as Cobar and Dubbo.

Submissions closed earlier this month and this week were made available at www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/committees/inquiries/Pages/inquiry-details.aspx?pk=2615#tab-submissions .

The names of many of the people who have made submissions have been suppressed including a woman who helped her brother's partner after she became stranded in Sydney.

The woman told of being "shocked that no assistance had been offered" to her brother's partner.

"It would be very tough for anyone who does not have family or friends in Sydney and who is discharged and has to find their own way around, especially if they don't feel well and are not familiar with the city," she wrote.

The woman recommends country patients flown to Sydney for emergency reasons are contacted before being discharged by "either a staff member of their home hospital, or a staff member from the receiving hospital", to see if they need help getting home.

Organisations have also made submissions including the Rotary Club of Warren which wants a 10-bed dementia unit for the town.

The Western NSW Local Health District's medical staff executive council has lodged a submission in which it implores the inquiry's committee to "physically come to our district and meet with us, the healthcare providers, our patients/the people we care for, their love ones and the local interested community members".

"We would like you to understand what we are doing well, what is not going so well and what resources we might need to improve," it says.

The inquiry's committee is led by Labor's Greg Donnelly.

Hearings will be held this year.

Dubbo regional mayor Ben Shields has called for one of them to be held at Wellington because of its central location and doctor shortage.

A submission has advocated for more support from Dubbo Hospital in "providing doctors to Wellington".
