Health Boards have eleven members, seven of which are elected during the
three-yearly local body elections. The Ministry of Health appoints four
additional members and the Board's Chair. Boards are required to have
two Maori representatives and in general should reflect the diversity of
people and interests within the Auckland DHB area.
The Board is responsible for funding
health and disability support services, for reducing health disparities,
and improving health outcomes for Maori. The Board also has
responsibility for planning across the range of health and non-health
sectors in order to influence the broader determinants of health.
