Comment from Bay of Plenty DHB for Quarter One 2007/08
The first quarter throughput within the DHB’s provider arm has been adversely impacted by:
  • effect of continuing Medical Radiation Technologist strikes in July
  • the migration of theatres, ambulatory and inpatient wards as a result of the campus redevelopment project
  • teething problems experienced with new theatre sterile supply equipment installed as part of the campus redevelopment project
  • increased acute medical caseloads reduced capacity to deliver elective surgical cases.

To address the currently shortfall the provider arm's Production Planning team is assessing options to catch up including sub-contracting work to the private sector.</p>]

* Compliance is measured based on achievement of outcomes greater than the Ministry threshold for compliance.
