Health board on target 

Waitemata District Health Board has been awarded an ‘outstanding’ achievement by the Ministry of Health for increasing the number of people receiving elective surgery at its hospitals. The DHB achieved 3,434 elective surgical discharges for the first quarter of the financial year, 10 per cent above the target of 3,122.

Improved access to elective surgery is one of six health targets set by the Ministry of Health for all 21 DHBs around the country. The others are shorter stays in emergency departments; shorter waits for cancer treatment; increased immunisation; better help for smokers in hospital to quit; and better diabetes and cardiovascular services.
