4.Increased Immunisation:<br />

Increasing immunisation rates continue to be a priority in order to reduce<br />

the incidence of preventable disease in our community. The DHB is working<br />

closely with the PHOs in <strong>Taranaki</strong> to educate and inform the community on the<br />

benefits and importance of immunisation.<br />

Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are among the main<br />

causes of ill health in <strong>Taranaki</strong>. The DHB supports the<br />

this target. There have been successful initiatives within<br />
