The Canterbury District Health Board (Canterbury DHB or CDHB) was a district health board with the focus on providing healthcare to the Canterbury region of New Zealand, north of the Rangitata River. It was responsible for roughly 579,000 residents, or 12% of New Zealand's population. The Canterbury District Health Board covered a territory of 26,881 square kilometers and was divided between six territorial local authorities.[7] In July 2022, the Canterbury DHB was merged into the national health service Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand).

History

[edit]

The Canterbury District Health Board, like most other district health boards, came into effect on 1 January 2001.[8]

In 2001, after multiple union contracts fell through, more than 1100 staff members of The Princess Margaret Hospital went on strike to protest the uncertainty regarding their jobs at the hospital, and the full strike involved roughly 3000 people from hospitals throughout the region.[9]

In July 2005, The New Zealand Herald reported that the Canterbury District Health Board and Telecom NZ had signed a three-year telecommunications deal. The deal gave Telecom NZ the responsibility for providing all health board telecommunications. There was also a two-year right of renewal clause.[10]

In September 2005, the health board was accused of "virtually sweat shop conditions" by the National Union of Public Employees. The board denied all accusations against them.[11] Following the accusations, roughly 500 personnel from the district started a five-day strike for a 30% pay rise.[12]

In December 2016, approximately 3974 appointments were postponed due to a payment dispute with the Regional District Health Boards, including Canterbury, and members of the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists. It was estimated that the resident medical officers had forfeited roughly $1.1 million in lost wages.[13]

The district health board had been regarded as a successful accountable care system which has moderated the rate of growth in hospital use by investing in services in the community. GPs and consultants agreed health pathways for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with common medical conditions thereby breaking down barriers between clinicians.[14]

On 1 July 2022, the Canterbury DHB was merged into the national health service Health New Zealand as part of an overhaul of the country's district health board system.[15] The Canterbury DHB's functions and operations were assumed by Te Whatu Ora's Te Waipounamu division, which covers the entire South Island.[16]

Geographic area

[edit]

The area covered by the Canterbury District Health Board was 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.[17] The area could have been adjusted through an Order in Council.[18]

Governance

[edit]

The CDHB, like other district health boards, was governed by a group that is partially elected and partially appointed. Since the 2001 New Zealand local elections, the elected part of the board had been determined as part of the triennial local elections using the single transferable vote system. There were generally eleven board members, seven of whom are elected and the remaining appointed by the minister of health. The minister also appointed the chairperson and deputy chair from the pool of eleven members.

Chairperson

[edit]

At most district health boards, the previous Hospital and Health Service (HHS) board chair was appointed as the inaugural chair, but not so at the Canterbury District Health Board. When the acting chairperson of the HHS board Humphry Rolleston retired, Syd Bradley was appointed the inaugural CDHB chairperson by Health Minister Annette King starting 1 January 2001.[28]

Bradley was succeeded in November 2007 by Alister James, who was appointed chairperson by Health Minister David Cunliffe. After serving as a Christchurch City Councillor until 2004, James successfully stood for the CDHB in October 2004 instead. In the 2007 local elections, James was defeated, but Cunliffe made him the government-appointed chair.[29]

Health Minister Tony Ryall appointed Bruce Matheson in November 2010 to replace James.[30] In 2013, Ryall appointed Murray Cleverley, concurrently with the chairpersonship for the South Canterbury District Health Board (where he had been chair since January 2010).[31][32] In February 2017, Cleverley resigned from the district health board positions over alleged fraudulent activity carried out by staff reporting to him at the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA).[33][34][35] Sir Mark Solomon, who had been appointed by Health Minister Jonathan Coleman in November 2016 as deputy chair, took over as acting chair from Cleverly.[36][37]

In August 2017, former diplomat and current university chancellor John Wood was appointed by Coleman as the new chair, with Solomon returning to the role of deputy chair.[37] In December 2019, retired judge Sir John Hansen was appointed by Health Minister David Clark to succeed Wood.[27]
