By centralising some of our non-client facing functions through a national service centre split between Auckland and Dunedin, we can remove complexity and duplication across our business and services as well.
The current funding circumstances facing our business are a serious concern to our Board. For years contractual funding from funding agencies has seen very limited increases; many contracts are now very tight.
We are not closing any branches and HealthCare NZ remains committed to providing services throughout New Zealand. These changes do not reflect a reduction to either the frontline clinical staff, support workers, or the services they deliver.
Like all companies, HealthCare NZ must consider its levels of funding and budget requirements. It is important we optimise our funding effectively, to enable us to invest in our services and people to enable us to continue delivering high quality health and wellbeing services for the people we support now and into the future.
As we transition to the new structure, we will continue to work with staff and unions.
