Meetings were called by the Thames Hospital Board and took place in Thames Hospital Board Institutions. 2.. Attendance was all health professionals of the area - viz. Hospital Board staff, general practitioners, district nurses, practice nurses, public health nurses etc. 3. The attached papers were distributed. 4. Meetings were generally informative and educational where various aspects of the Area Health Board Act and its implications were described. 5. Informal discussions followed the informative sections and various salient points are listed below. COROMANDEL HOSPITAL, 8th October 1986 Attendance Dr. McPherson, Thames Hospital Board;Dr. Fox GP; Dr. McAllum GP; and GP Registrar; Public Health Nurse; Principal Nurse Coromandel Hospital; 4 other hospital nurses; 1 Practice Nurse The general principles of the Area Health Board were accepted, discussion centred around the politics of size and amalgamation. Prospects & Consequences A matter rising and to be addressed - How do Service Development Groups and Community Committees communicate with the Board? WAIHI HOSPITAL 9th October 1986 Attendance Dr. McPherson, Thames Hospital Board; Mr. Silvester, Surgeon Thames; Dr. McInnes, GP; Dr. Hardy GP; Dr. Wijetunga GP; Public Health Nurse; District Nurse; 3 Practice Nurses; 3 Hospital Board Nurses. The Area Health Board concept was accepted in principle. Discussion centred around politics and especially re boundaries of Waihi Beach and Tauranga County. The community of interest of Waihi was discussed and it was duly felt that Waihi was not orientated in any particular direction, either towards Thames, Hamilton or Tauranga. For health services, Waihi still feel an orientation to Thames and feels that the service there is more efficient. A point for further Board consideration is that of meeting times for the Area Health Board, perhaps night time meetings could be considered to attract a different membership to the Board. C3-1 WH1TIANGA HOSPITAL, 10 October 1986 Attendance Dr. McPherson, Thames Hospital Board; Mr. Silvester, Surgeon, Thames Hospital; Dr. Anderson GP; Dr. Bruce Mackereth GP; Principal Nurse, Mercury Bay Hospital; Public Health Nurse; District Nurse; 5 Hospital Board Nurses. The Area Health Board concept accepted in principle. Special interest shown in community representation on the Area Health Board. There was concern that in local body elections possible areas, for example, Whitianga, may have no representation on the hospital board appointed members were therefore considered an advantage. Community of interest of the population is still clearly orientated towards Thames. Special point for further discussion - How would area health boards ensure that appropriate people are appointed to Community Committees? PAEROA HOSPITAL, 13 October 1986 1300hours Attendance Dr. McPherson, Thames Hospital Board; Mr. Silvester, Surgeon Thames Hospital; Dr. Budge GP; Dr. White GP; Principal Nurse, Paeroa Hospital; Public Health Nurse; District Nurse; Plunket Nurse; 4 Staff Nurses, Paeroa Hospital.

NGATEA HEALTH CENTRE, 13 October 1986 1400 hours Attendance Dr. McPherson, Thames Hospital Board; Mr. Silvester, Surgeon Thames Hospital; Dr. R. Tennent GP; Dr. M. Tennent GP; Dr. Phillips GP; Dr. Courtenay locum GP; Public Health Nurse; District Nurse; 4 Practice Nurses The Area Health Board concept accepted in principle.
