Southern DHB and the Central Lakes Locality Network are now inviting feedback about the future of primary maternity facilities in the fast-growing Central Otago/ Wanaka area.
Determining the best configuration of facilities in this area is an action in the DHB’s Integrated Primary Maternity System of Care.
“While we have a good understanding of the issues involved, we are very keen to listen to the community in a structured way and get this process right,” says Executive Director Strategy, Primary and Community Lisa Gestro.
“We expect to propose some options by Easter and make decisions around the middle of the year. However, it is important we take the time that is needed to ensure the outcomes are the right ones for women and families.”
Public feedback can be provided through a form on the website: https://www. engage.southernhealth.nz/maternity
