ANNUAL REPORT
The annual report presents an account of
Northland District Health Board’s performance
for the year from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010.
The annual report is a key report to stakeholders
as it sets out what the district health board
committed to do in the year, and how it delivered
on that commitment.
The key components of the report are outlined
below.
The Board has a vision for its district and a long
term strategy (10 years) as to how this vision will
be achieved. This is documented in the District
Strategic Plan.
Each year, the Board reviews progress on its
vision and long term strategy, and identifi es what
will be achieved over the next 12 months. This is
documented in the District Annual Plan.
A Statement of Intent is also prepared annually
and is the formal accountability document
between Northland DHB and Government. It
provides a concise summary of Northland’s
intentions for the year ahead, and covers both
long term and annual planning objectives. It also
covers the day-to-day operational performance of
the Board.
This document, the Annual Report, tells you
how Northland DHB performed against the
Statement of Intent. It also provides the reader
with a detailed account of how the health dollars
allocated to this Board were managed.
