Increase availability & access to local services
& collaborate across service providers

Through easily accessed, relevant health and wellbeing services whānau and communities can be empowered. We must think differently about how health and wellbeing issues are addressed and prevented by, looking at alternate models of delivery that include self-led models for and by whānau. All our health and support services need to understand our whānau to be able to respond effectively.

​

Hauora and wellbeing events from the previous plan were well attended and there has been an increase in the willingness of health services to collaborate but, much more must be done to ensure better access to services locally and, to ensure real accountability of providers with health contracts that are meant to be delivered in our rohe.

​​

Solutions in our new plan heightens its focus in the health area. We have prioritised a integrated community wellness centre, a physical space that allows for organic collaboration will complement the actions and tools to be designed to support the integration of services. As a rural area, it just makes sense to bring our resources together for the sustainability of quality services and importantly for the betterment of local whānau and their health and wellbeing.
