New era begins for Iwi-Māori Partnership Board

A pōwhiri was held on Monday 4 July for Te Kāhui Hauora o Te Tauihu, the Iwi-Māori Partnership Board for the Nelson Marlborough District. 

The Board will consist of one iwi appointed representative from: Ngāti Koata, Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō, Ngāti Rārua, Ngāti Tama, Te Ātiawa, Rāngitane o Wairau, Ngāti Kuia and Ngāti Toa Rangatira and two independent appointed representatives to represent the Māori community and health profession.

The Board will play a vital role in working closely with Te Aka Whai Ora, the Māori Health Authority and Te Whatu Ora, Health NZ, in the design and delivery of local health services in Te Tauihu which includes the current boundaries of the Nelson Marlborough District. Locality commissioning from assessing the health needs of whānau, identifying priorities and monitoring the services provided are also core functions of the Board.
