On 1 July 2022, the Nelson Marlborough DHB (trading as Nelson Marlborough Health) as an entity was disestablished and became part of Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand) and Te Aka Whai Ora (Māori Health Authority), New Zealand's new national health authorities. [2] [3] The Nelson Marlborough DHB's functions and responsibilities were assumed by Te Whatu Ora's Te Waipounamu division, which covers the entire South Island. [4]

Geographic area

The area covered by the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board is defined in Schedule 1 of the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and based on territorial authority and ward boundaries as constituted as at 1 January 2001.

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, 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.
