The Board

Northland DHB is the major health provider for Northland. It employs over 2200 staff across its services and manages 328 beds across its four hospitals.

The Northland DHB is governed by a Board of seven community elected and four Government appointed members with Māori representation proportionate to that in the population as required by the NZ Public Health & Disability Act 2000.

The role of the Board is to provide strategic oversight for the DHB, taking into account the Government's overall vision for the health sector as contained in the NZ Health Strategy and the NZ Disability Strategy.
The Board members of the NDHB must work together in a financially responsible manner to achieve its' objectives within the current annual budget.

Partnerships

Northland DHB has established a partnership arrangement to recognise and respect the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, with Te Tai Tokerau MAPO, and will sign a similar agreement with Te Runanga O Ngati Whatua. All and any such agreements will be consistent with the Government's guidelines for Crown-Maori Relationship Instruments (C-MRI). These governance and operational relationships will ensure that the DHB and Maori work together in improving the health status of all Northlanders.
