Planning

A District Health Board is always planning to improve the health status of the people who live in its district. It does this through strategic, annual and service planning. A DHB's achievements are measured and reported publicly.

    MidCentral District Health Board (MDHB) has a continued focus on clinician and consumer involvement in service development and improvement across the region. A Clinical Network structure is in the process of being established. This will replace the District Management Groups and Reference Groups from previous years. A (transitional) Steering Group has been created and will aid in the development of the different District Groups.
