THERE was cause for celebration at Western District Health Service (WDHS), after it achieved full acute accreditation in its latest quality audit.

External auditors visited WDHS in November, as part of a three-year accreditation cycle, to ensure the Health Service is meeting its obligations under the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards.
