The five Midland district health boards - Bay of Plenty, Lakes, Tairawhiti, Taranaki and Waikato - retain strong links.
Examples of regional collaboration include: the establishment
of the Midland Cancer Network, and investigating solutions to
rationalise ‘back office’ and corporate support systems.
The Midland
DHBs chairs recently appointed Erica Holtsbaum as project manager for
the Midland Regional Co-Operation Project.
Waikato provides the tertiary services (such as neurosurgery
and other highly complex surgery, specialised medical procedures and
specialist trauma services) to the regional population of more than
832,600.
