| Planning & Funding |
Under the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 (NZPHD Act) all DHB's are required to produce three accountability documents to advise the Minister of Health, Parliament and the communities they serve of their intentions, planned activities and expected outcomes.
Together with national policy, these documents help to maintain transparency and enable robust review of the intentions of both the Ministry and of DHB's. The documents provide a long term planning element to demonstrate capacity, sustainability of services and best use of resources. The use of short, medium and long term performance targets in these documents also assists in evaluating DHB progress and effectiveness.
The Canterbury DHB's Planning & Funding Division is responsible for producing these key accountability documents on behalf of Canterbury DHB.

influenced by the revenue available to the DHB and feedback from
the community as part of a formal public consultation process.

The DAP has a one year focus and outlines activity planned for the coming year that will assist the DHB not only to achieve its goals but also to meet its immediate challenges and fulfil the expectations and requirements of the Minister of Health. The DHB also presents specified outputs in terms of targets against Ministry-set measures or ‘Indicators of DHB Performance’ which are then reported to the Ministry as part of the DHB’s Crown Funding Agreement reporting. The DHB produced its last DAP in 2009 |

| Crown Funding Agreement (CFA)

The Crown Funding Agreement is the contract between the DHB and the Minister of Health which links the DAP to the funding provided by the Ministry of Health and the performance required from the DHB. |
The Canterbury DHB reviews its long-term direction every three years, as part of the development or review of its DSP. The DSP is aligned to the Government’s health and disability strategies and is developed based on the DHB’s HNA, and influenced by the revenue available to the DHB and feedback from the community as part of a formal public consultation process.
The DHB produced its most recent HNA in 2004, followed by a public consultation process to establish its direction for the five years 2005-2010. The DHB’s DSP ‘A Healthier Canterbury - Directions 2010’ was produced and signed off in 2006. In recognition of the specific local needs of Canterbury residents, the DHB established five Core Directions, five Strategic Health Gain Priorities and four Disease Priorities as part of the DSP process.
| Core Directions | Health Gain Priorities | Disease Priorities |
Improve the Health and Wellbeing of our Community |
Child and Youth Health | Cancer |
Find Better Ways of Working |
Older People's Health | Cardiovascular Disease |
Work Together |
Maori Health | Diabetes |
Develop our Healthcare Workforce |
Disease Prevention and Management | Respiratory Disease |
These Core Directions and Strategic Priorities influence the development of the DHB’s SOI and DAP and determine much of the activity that is undertaken in any given year and where additional focus will be placed to better meet the needs of the Canterbury population. Around these Priorities the DHB has developed a number of local strategies and action plans to focus activity and influence improved outcomes for the Canterbury community.
