Background Northland DHB is developing a new health strategy for Te Tai Tokerau. It will provide high-level direction for delivering health services and improving wellbeing in our district. The strategy will strongly emphasise the elimination of inequities in access to services, the way they are provided, and in health outcomes. The process includes broad community and organisational engagement, combined with health intelligence and alignment with Government priorities and national health and disability strategies. Input from recent community engagements, online feedback and planned engagement workshops will capture what we all want to say about health priorities for Te Tai Tokerau. The development of the strategy will be inclusive of all health services, government agencies and local councils.
