MP Sussan Ley on Wodonga Council's big health summit

The council wants to gather local, state and federal government representatives next March to discuss how health operations can be improved.

"I think that's a good idea," Ms Ley said.

"I think bringing together three levels of government on two sides of the border can achieve results, the internal freeway was an example of that."

Ms Ley was referring to the long debate about whether a duplicated Hume Highway would travel west of Albury or through the city, before it was eventually opened in 2007.

Fellow federal MP, member for Indi Helen Haines has previously notified Wodonga mayor Ron Mildren of her willingness to participate in a health summit.
