Health Minister's Visit
At the hui on 15 August 2024, the Minister of Health, Hon Dr. Shane Reti, visited Te Kāhui Hauora o Te Tauihu in our office and met with some of our board members. The Minister highlighted the urgent need to build hospitals in Whangarei and Nelson, marking them as top priorities. He stressed the importance of Iwi Māori Partnership Boards (IMPBs) in setting regional health priorities. The Minister detailed essential clinical services such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, national screening, and immunization, and emphasised the need for data-driven decision-making in funding allocations. Workforce shortages and the need for flexible community health plans that incorporate whānau voice were also discussed, with a focus on addressing social determinants of health and integrating rongoā into the system.
