Planning and Funding

Our planning and funding decisions balance the goal of improving the health of the whole population in our district with managing the ongoing service needs of the community.

We have to be smart with our funding and put money into areas where we can do the most good. The Minister of Health asks us to deliver value for money, to reduce inequalities and manage chronic disease.

Our District Strategic Plan (pdf) outlines what we know about the Bay of Plenty’s health needs and what we plan to do to address the key health issues we face. Our District Annual Plan (pdf) explains what actions we will take in the coming year.
