Cancer Control in New Zealand
Regional Cancer Networks in New Zealand
The New Zealand Cancer Control Strategy Action Plan identified the need to develop formal regional structures that would enhance cooperation and collaboration for cancer control.
The regional cancer networks facilitate and coordinate services across health providers at all levels and bring various providers and consumer organisations together to ensure co-operation and integration of services, where appropriate.
In addition they provide a mechanism where all can work with each other to plan and coordinate services in line with national standards of treatment.
There are four regional cancer networks in New Zealand who work across organisational boundaries to promote a collaborative approach to service planning and delivery.
The four regional networks are following DHB geographical coverage areas and the patient flow to the regional cancer centres:
Northern Cancer Network - Auckland, Waitemata, Counties Manukau, Northland
Midland Cancer Network - Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Lakes
Central Cancer Network - Taranaki, Whanganui, MidCentral, Hawke’s Bay, Tairawhiti, Wairarapa, Hutt Valley, Capital & Coast
Southern Cancer Network – Nelson/Marlborough, Canterbury, Otago, West Coast. South Canterbury, Southland
