	Board Documents On this page you can access the public documents produced by Nelson Marlborough District Health Board. Memorandum of Agreement This agreement, signed in September 2001 between NMDHB and the manawhenua O Te Tau Ihu o Te Waka a Maui, established a partnership based on the Treaty of Waitangi with a vision of improving Maori health outcomes. District Strategic Plan This ten year strategic plan from 2002 – 2012 was prepared as a draft early in 2002 and, after a consultation period, the plan was amended and sent to the Minister of Health for approval. The adopted plan is available here as well as in public libraries. The plan has a ten-year timeframe and must be reviewed every 3 years.
