Kia ora Pip, 
Thank you for your time today - it was good to talk through your plan and to hear some of the feedback 
about what's happening at Lakes DHB. Based on your plan and our conversation, we are happy to accept 
your local plan and wish you all the best for implementing it. 
I'm really interested in the safe sleep device data that is collected by Change for Our Children - could you 
under the Official Information Act 1982
please send me a copy of the latest data or send me their contact details so I can ask them if possible? 
I have talked to Tony about the Lakes DHB tobacco services and he has asked me to send the standard 
response. The Ministry of Health  is currently reviewing all its 2018/2019 purchasing intentions, the 
demands on its budget and alignment with Government priorities.  Once that work is completed, the 
Ministry will be in a position to communicate its intentions going forward, including in relation to public 
health."

Subject: DHB SUDI Local Plans 
 
Kia ora tatou, 
under the Official Information Act 1982
At our weekly teleconference yesterday with the regional SUDI coordinators, it was suggested that some 
DHBs were not intending to submit an updated local plan (based on the template and local guidance 
document that was sent by Gen on 22 February) because they had already submitted this information based 
on the previous costings template. 
If you are not intending to submit an updated plan, I would like to arrange a separate teleconference with 
each of you asap with the intention of using the information you provided in the costings template to sign 
off your plans.  The teleconference will likely involve clarifying some of the activities that were proposed 
in your costings template. 
In the interests of DHBs being able to utilise SUDI 2017/8 funding, we want to sign off all of the local 
plans by 14 March so could you please get back to me asap. 
If you are intending to submit an updated local plan by 9 March, I look forward to receiving them.

Hi Leigh,
Everything is going well thanks, hows everything going from you end in welly, good I hope.
Yes, you are right, regardless of any changes to their contract, the DHB provider arm is still responsible 
under the Official Information Act 1982
to maintain their DHB Performance targets. Also, this target has been around for so many years now that 
it should actually be embedded in their everyday practice anyhow.
Hope this helps.

Lakes Q1 report
Hey Tony
How's things?  Here's Lakes Q1 PP31 report ..  they keep on referring to:
The ending of the former Ministry of Health and Lakes DHB tobacco control contrac and incresing 
acute demands was expected to affect this quarters results and this has been borne out by the 
most recent data. The smoking cessation service Tipu Ora have been asked to provide some 
specific smoking cessation services in the hospital environment but this arrangement has not 
been able  to replicated the results Lakes DHB has produced in the past thus far.



My understanding is that they chose to terminate this contract, is that right?  I realy want to respond to 
them saying that regardless of their staffing, this is a DHB pefrmance measure and they are expected to 
meet the 95%.. Have you anything to add?

Hi Veronica,
Sorry for not getting back to you yesterday. The Lakes DHB still have a contract with the Ministry, 
however, it was agreed that they would be using a different and integrated approach to this contract in 
terms of working towards achieving the health priorities and more of a wellbeing approach. This approach 
will also help inform us in terms of possible future direction in terms of alignment. I have spoken to Karen 
about the commentary regarding targets not being achieved and I understand that she will be addressing 
this with her provider arm today or tomorrow as these targets should still continue to be maintained.

now disestablished that role.

Hi Tony
Thanks for this, and just to be clear, Lakes DHB is claiming that the loss of the SF coordinator role is 
impacting on their maternity health target result (I realise I didn't make this clear in my previous email). 
Thanks for raising the issue with Karen Evison.

Re: Lakes DHB and smokefree coordinator role (maternity health target)
Hi Veronica,
You are correct, this should not be affecting their target as it is still our expectation that the hospital 
targets remain and that the processes around maintaining the target should be well and truly embedded 
into their everyday approach given the number of years this has been maintained. Regardless of the 
change of the contract, this process should still be continuing. 
I will also raise this again with Karen Evison in regards to the Ministry's expectation around these targets, 
however, I think this may be directed more towards the DHB provider arm.
Thanks

Lakes DHB and smokefree coordinator role (maternity health target)
Hi Tony
I understand that you've already heard from Leigh about Lakes DHB's hospital narrative report, where 
they stated that losing the smokefree coordinator role has had an impact on the hospital measure. I've 
also received the same information in the maternity target narrtive report, where Lakes stated that losing 
the SF coordinator role has impacted on their failure to meet the target. 
under the Official Information Act 1982
In Lakes DHB's feedback I will state that staffing issues shouldn't be having an impact on the target, and 
there is Ministry expectation that the target be met and maintained. Leigh and I are also raising this issue 
with the DHB Relationship Manager for Lakes for them to raise at the next DHB meeting (MIF).
