Regional Women's Health Service proposal submissions period now closed

Across the two boards, 4061 valid submissions were received during the eight-week public submission period which closed at 4pm, Wednesday 9 May. Of that number, 3729 were pre-printed postcards distributed by the New Zealand College of Midwives.

In addition to individual submissions, feedback was also received from 36 public and stakeholder meetings held throughout the Whanganui district as well as those held in the MidCentral district.
 
Whanganui and MidCentral DHB staff are now analysing the submissions for both boards to consider and decide on at their June meetings. A report summarising all feedback will be provided to the boards. 
 
WDHB board members will hear 16 scheduled verbal submissions in the Wanganui District Council Chambers from 9.30 to 4.30pm on Monday 21 May.
 
The WDHB thanks all those people who have read the proposal, attended the meetings, debated the issues with us, offered solutions and taken the time to put in a submission. We are in no doubt how important this issue is to our community. The feedback we’ve received will help shape our regional women’s health services into the future.
