Taranaki Taiohi Health Strategy
Taranaki DHB led the development of the Taranaki Taiohi Health Strategy 2013-2016. The Strategy was guided by a multi-agency Governance Group representative of Ministry of Education (Special Education), Ministry of Social Development, Taranaki DHB, Midland Health Network, National Hauora Coalition and Tui Ora Limited. The Operational Group was diverse with a wide range of participants from various professions and settings across Taranaki. Input from Taiohi was through focus group sessions and a questionnaire.
Two Strategies have been developed, one for young people and another for agencies. A further supporting background document was developed to provide context to the Strategies priorities.
In the new year, (2013) and Alliance Charter will be signed by agencies and various organisations that sets the principles on how we will work together to implement the strategy. It's sets not only the foundation for this strategy but for other pieces of work which will be led by various agencies. We will also develop Youth Health Teams that connect the current services and expertise that exists and provide opportunities to leverage change through multi-agency leadership. We have developed a Results Based Accountability Framework to support the 3 key result areas. The framework includes population and performance indictors that all agencies are accountable for. This will help us monitor and report on whether we are actually making a difference.

Taranaki Adult MH&A Continuum Project
The Mental Health and Addictions Adult Continuum Project has been completed with sign off on the final report. The project was ambitious in its objective to include all of the MH&A services across the entire continuum. The service mix and pathways are multi-tiered and complex and as a result a number of emerging red flag areas and corresponding key recommendations and actions were included. Next Steps - over the next month the recommendations and necessary actions will be formalised through a work plan in conjunction with the sector to support implementation.
Deirdre Mulligan, Consultant Project Manager and Jenny James, Portfolio Manager, Taranaki DHB would like to thank all of the participants to date to get this stage of the work to completion.
