Andrea Moor
Episodes: 3877-3907
Occupation: Hospital Administrator

Anna was the CEO of the Northern Districts Hospital, who chaired the panel investigating Flynn after a mistake he made in surgery left Leah with an infection that damaged her fallopian tubes. She chided him for operating on a friend in defiance of hospital policy, pointing out there were other doctors in the hospital he could have contacted, to which he reminded her the hospital was in chaos because of a bush fire. She told him the hospital could be on the receiving end of a legal case and threatened to dismiss him and report him to the medical board, meaning he could be struck off. After talking to Leah, who didn’t intend to pursue the matter, Anna told Flynn she’d be recommending the medical board took no action but also placing him on probation, revoking his surgical assist privileges and assigning him to night shift.

After several of the Summer Bay residents were injured in a plane crash, Anna looked in on Flynn while he was operating on Tasha. However, she later reassured him that she had merely been checking to see if he needed any help and had been impressed with his work. A couple of weeks later, Anna went to shadow Flynn for a shift. Failing to notice that he was taking stimulants to cope with the night shifts, she told him she was restoring his surgical assist rights. After observing for another shift, she recommended no further action be taken against him.
