Regional governance update

We reported last month on changes to regional governance arrangements bringing together DHB chairs and MIRB chairs strengthening the relationship between local Crown entities and local Iwi.

Since then we have agreed to name this governance group Te Manawa Taki – The Pulsating Heart. This symbolises that the leadership is:

• always ready to go

• the health hub of Te Ika a Maui

• the strong heartbeat of the fish without which it cannot swim

• leading for others to follow
