Kay Therese McKelvie [1] QSO is a New Zealand chairwoman. She was previously chair of the Waitemata District Health Board and the New Zealand Tourism Board.
McKelvie was chairwoman of the Waitemata District Health Board starting from 2001 until 2009. [2] [3] She was appointed by Labour MP Annette King, and resigned in 2009, citing a lack of funding to the board from the National government. It was funded $1.074 billion, which she predicted would result in a $35 million deficit as a result of it not "tak[ing] into account the increase in population in the Waitemata district". [3] [4] [5]

The Ministry of Health is the public service department of New Zealand responsible for healthcare in New Zealand. It came into existence in its current form in 1993.
District health boards (DHBs) in New Zealand were organisations established by the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 under the Fifth Labour Government, responsible for ensuring the provision of health and disability services to populations within a defined geographical area. They existed from 1 January 2001, when the act came into force, to 30 June 2022. Initially there were 21 DHBs, and this was reduced to 20 organisations in 2010: fifteen in the North Island and five in the South Island. DHBs received public funding from the Ministry of Health on behalf of the Crown, based on a formula that took into account the total number, gender, age, socio-economic status and ethnic mix of their population. DHBs were governed by boards, which were partially elected and partially appointed by the minister of Health.
The healthcare system of New Zealand has undergone significant changes throughout the past several decades. From an essentially fully public system based on the Social Security Act 1938, reforms have introduced market and health insurance elements primarily since the 1980s, creating a mixed public-private system for delivering healthcare.
