Te Whatu Ora Te Tai o Poutini is pleased to present the Maternity Quality and Safety Programme Annual Report for 2021/2022.
Despite the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and then the change to our health legislation to Pae Ora (Healthy futures Act on July 1, 2022) and the accompanying dissolving of the District Health Boards, we have continued to build on work from the past few years which had a focus of equity following the agreement on the Maternity Strategy for Te Tai o Poutini.
We have been specifically increasing the work we do with the community and ensuring their voices are becoming louder and also working to reflect our Te Tiriti obligations in all that we do. Having the Strategy framework and now also having Te Pae Tata (the Interim New Zealand Health plan) with one of the Pou being Kahu Taurima (maternity and early years) means that the work we have done has a platform to continue as we realign our maternity systems nationally.
In Te Tai o Poutini we understand that we need to meet the requirements of Pae Ora (Healthy Futures Act 2022) and Kahu Taurima and the expectations of both Te Aka Whai Ora and Te Whatu Ora.

The West Coast District Health Board is pleased to present the Maternity Quality and Safety Programme Annual Report for 2018/19.
The West Coast has had a busy year again this year as we work towards the development of a Maternity strategy that will guide us for the next five years. A broad
framework was presented to a Hui in February this year and we now continue to refine the outcomes of the feedback. This work along with the realignment of the West
Coast health system beyond maternity has prompted much discussion about how we best meet the needs of our maternity population. The discussions have also developed
into how maternity then sits alongside the other work happening particularly in the well child and mental health spaces.

The West Coast District Health Board is pleased to present the Maternity Quality and Safety Programme Annual Report for 2017/18.
The West Coast has had a busy year again this year building on the work of the past years. The report last year has been shared widely and has prompted more discussion about how we can continue to improve the maternity system for our mothers and their babies. These discussions have sat alongside the wider discussions within our DHB about the challenges of a rural / remote rural DHB the length of the South Island and how we provide health services equitably. In this case we have been discussing how we provide maternity services and how we have to develop this work capacity among other colleagues particularly in our remotest parts of the DHB such as Haast as an example.
