RECENT ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE

A refresh of Waikato DHB’s strategic plan was carried out in 2016 to ensure the Waikato DHB’s values and

priorities reflect Waikato DHB’s strategic direction and align to day-to-day operations. The first pre-requisite

to the success of this strategy will be strong and unambiguous leadership.

Previously, Waikato DHB was governed by a board of up to 11 members. In May 2019 the Health Minister

replaced the Board with a Commissioner to oversee developments in governance, financial planning and

performance. The Commissioner, Deputy Commissioners and the newly appointed Chief Executive will return

stability to the District Health Board and enable changes needed to ensure that the DHB is delivering high

quality services to the people of the Waikato and improving the health of the population, while managing

finances.

In late 2018 an external review was commissioned to identify opportunities for improvement while continuing

to provide excellent patient care. The review report containing the recommendations for the DHB can be

found here.

In this process the Waikato DHB has developed the ‘Commissioning Koru’, a model that reflects the approach

and priorities taken in Commissioning process. See model below that comes from the Waikato DHB Annual

Plan 2019-20.
