Our People

Employment

The Central Region regional work programme comprises work undertaken by the DHB executive groups, and work resulting from the Regional Clinical Services Plan (RCSP). Beneath the work programme are the principles for the regional programme.

The alignment of executive group work programmes with the vision being realised in the RCSP will likely see a single regional work programme emerge in the next 12 to 18 months. Behind the work programmes outlined below are separate pages for each group and project, with discussion pages allowing members to share their views and make a contribution. You will need to log in to enable this to occur.

Principles of the Regional Work Programme

1. Look to the future

Need to look at the future in the context of the future, NOT the past.

Solutions of the past may not be appropriate to solve the challenges that are currently being faced.

4. Provision of a quality service

Provision of a quality service, which is locally provided where this is safe, affordable and sustainable.

People of the region have their health services provided locally where those services are safe, affordable and sustainable, while maintaining quality. Need to make sure that “local ownership” vs “local service provision” are not mixed up.

2. Regional collaboration

Regional collaboration for service improvement and innovation across the continuum.

Choosing to work together in order to find new and better ways of organising, funding, delivering and continuously improving health services in the region.

5. More and better services

More and better services within the context of the total regional budget.

Constant evaluation and continued development of a system that will deliver increased value for money while maintaining or improving quality of care.

3. Reducing health inequalities

Reducing health inequalities across the Central Region over time.

Working together to improve equity in access, utilisation and outcomes of health services in the region. In particular, high priority should be accorded to solutions that contribute to reducing disparities for Māori and Pacific Peoples.

6. Workforce Development

Workforce issues dominate regional collaboration and underpin concepts relating to sustainability, quality and access, and are therefore recognised here.

Need to note that alternative service models could lead to alternative employment relationships.
