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 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.
Te Whatu Ora West Coast Primary Practice Medical Centres fee schedule, effective 1 April 2023.
