District Annual Plans

The 2009/10 District Annual Plan (DAP) for Tairawhiti District Health (TDH) is the fourth to be constructed under the revised Strategic Plan for the district and turns the words into action. It sets out the major "business not as usual" activities that will be accomplished in the 2009/10 year to deliver on the TDH mission of working together to elevate the wellbeing of Tairawhiti. The DAP has been built on a strong foundation of community consultation and interaction.

Statement of Intent 2010-2013

The Crown Entities Act 2006 requires DHBs to prepare a Statement of Intent at or before the start of each financial year. The SoI is for that financial year and at least the two following financial years. The purpose of the SoI is to promote public accountability of the DHB by:

Enabling the Government to participate in the process of setting the DHB's medium-term intentions and undertakings;

setting out for MPs those intentions and undertakings

providing a base against which the DHB's actual performance can be later assessed.

The minimum required content of each SoI is set out in section 141 of the Act. It has to be agreed with the Minister of Health, who then presents it to Parliament, after which it must be made avaialble to the public by the DHB. After the end of the financial year, the DHB reports its achievements in its Annual Report against the performance. This year's Statement of Intent was tabled in Parliament in July.
