The Capital and Coast District Health Board (CCDHB) was a district health board with the focus on providing healthcare to Wellington City, Porirua City and the Kāpiti Coast in New Zealand. The CCDHB employed about 6000 people across the Wellington Region.[1] It was disestablished on 1 July 2022, with its functions and responsibilities being taken over by the national health service Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand).

History

The Capital and Coast District Health Board, like most other district health boards, came into effect on 1 January 2001 established by the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000.[2]

On 1 July 2022, the Capital and Coast DHB was abolished when the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022 came into effect.[3] It was merged into the newly created national health service Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand).[4] Under Te Whatu Ora, a successor entity operates as the "Capital, Coast, and Hutt Valley District," which is part of the organisation's Central division.[1][5]

Geographic area

The area covered by the Capital and Coast District Health Board is defined in Schedule 1 of the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and based on territorial authority and ward boundaries as constituted as at 1 January 2001.[6] The area can be adjusted through an Order in Council.[7]

Facilities

The Wellington Regional Hospital located in Newtown is the largest of the CCDHB's facilities, serving the wider Wellington region and the northern South Island. Other facilities include the Wellington Children's Hospital, the Kenepuru Community Hospital in Porirua and the Kapiti Health Centre.[8]

Governance

The initial board was fully appointed. Since the 2001 local elections, the board has been partially elected (seven members) and in addition, up to four members get appointed by the Minister of Health. The minister also appoints the chairperson and deputy-chair from the pool of eleven board members.[9]
