About the District Health
Board
Board Committees
The DHB Board has
established a number of committees.
The following three are required by legislation:
(There are two
Manawhenua representatives on each statutory Board
Committee. There is at least one representative
from the Pacific Health Advisory Committee on the
Community & Public Health Advisory Committee (CPHAC) and
the Disability Support Advisory Committee (DiSAC).)
In addition, the Board has established
four other committees:
-
Community & Public Health Advisory Committee
(CPHAC)
Provides advice to
the CMDHB Board on the mix and range of services
that will best meet local health improvement and
independence objectives, recognising both
resource constraints and the requirements of
national policy and strategy, and taking into
account the diverse and unique needs of Māori.
Meets monthly (except
December) at 1pm to 4pm on the 4th Tuesday of
the month.

Disability
Support Advisory Committee (DiSAC)
Advises
the Board on issues facing people with
disabilities, and how these can best be
addressed (in the context of the DHB not being
the funder of disability support services for
people aged under 65).
Meets monthly (except
in months where Regional DiSAC meetings are
held) at 1pm to 4pm, usually on the 2nd
Monday of the
month.

The Regional DiSAC forum (a 2002
initiative of the Metro Auckland DiSACs) are
held quarterly, and convened and coordinated by
the Northern DHB Support Agency (NDSA).
DiSAC members from the four northern
region DHBs attend. The forums promote a
regionally consistent approach to the
implementation of the NZ Disability Strategy
through regular dialogue between the local
DiSACs and linkages with the Disability
Directorate of the Ministry of Health.
Meets quarterly
(day and times to be confirmed).
