In this edition of the CE Update, Acting Chief Executive Andrew Brant thanks everyone for the warm welcome and introduction to the West Coast Health System. He talks about the implementation of a rural generalist model and touches on the official opening of Te Nīkau Hospital & Health Centre and future of Buller Health.
This 2020/21 System Level Measures Improvement Plan was drafted prior to the initiation of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The West Coast Health System’s current focus is on implementing our pandemic response in line with Ministry of Health directives, adapting delivery of health care to maintain essential services and ensuring we continue to prioritise support for our most vulnerable populations.
It is anticipated that as we move from the response phase to the recovery phase, our high level priorities will remain unchanged. However, there is likely to be a purposeful delay in progressing some actions and work so that resources can be directed to areas of higher priority.
Where capacity allows, our alliance groups are assessing their work plans and identifying which focus areas are of high priority. This will inform the development of a recovery plan that will highlight any substantial changes in the actions, timeframes and selected contributory measures in the West Coast’s 2020/21 System Level Measures Improvement Plan.

Te Whatu Ora West Coast Primary Practice Medical Centres fee schedule, effective 12 December 2023.
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 2020.
The West Coast has had a busy year again this year as we completed the Maternity Strategy and agreed with the Board to use it as a platform to guide not only the first 1,000 days, but we have also initiated the programme called Growing Up Well on the West Coast. We have a project group with wide representation across our community and have commenced hui around different communities on the West Coast, so we can improve our maternity and other systems for whanau.
RE Official information request WCDHB 9439
I refer to your email dated 23 June 2020 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act from West Coast DHB. Specifically:
The protocols the DHB had/have in relation to access for support people in the hospitals within your
DHB region during Level 2 lockdown (between 14 May and 8 June) and Level 1.
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.
In preparation for the demolition needed to make way for construction of the new Buller Health facility, we are relocating a number of services to other areas of the
facility over the weekend starting Friday 22 November 2019.
From Monday 25 November, our Cobden Street entrance will become the single point of entry for the majority of our services, including Buller Medical Centre.
This flyer contains information that you need to know if you’re planning to visit the facility.
