Phase 1

This high level plan is available for feedback to 20/01/10

By 31 March 2010

Development of detailed funding arrangements for 2010/11 (specific to adult clinical community mental health services) will be undertaken. This will identify service configuration and expected funding. It will include key performance indicators (KPIs) for measuring the impact of the investment.  KPIs will be aligned with the District Annual Plan (DAP).

Active participation will be sought from Te Puna Oranga to ensure Maori are fully engaged and that the approach meets the needs of Maori.

Phase 2

Development of a longer horizon mental health & addictions funding plan (to commence late 2010 timeframe to be confirmed).
