It documents RPH’s progress using the measures Releasedagreed in our Annual Business Plan under our core contract with the Ministry of Health. It should be noted that reporting for activities that are funded from contracts other than the core public health contract, are not included. Highlights from January to June 2018 have been included, with reference to the full year, as well as comments on relevant issues, challenges and risks. During this Underreporting period RPH undertook an organisational change process in response to the changes around us with an eye to the future and returning RPH to a viable, fiscally neutral population health influencer and provider for the greater Wellington region. I believe that overall RPH has met the requirements of the contract and has performed commendably in the period 1The July 2017 to 30 June 2018. Peter Gush Service Manager Official Information Act 1982 Contract: 353575 Provider: 102501 Regional Public Health annual report for Ministry of Health 1 July 2017 – 30 June 2018 Page 3 HOW THE REPORT IS STRUCTURED Our services are grouped into action plans made up of a set of related activities. For the purposes of aligning with the terminology used in the Ministry’s planning and reporting guidelines for 2017- Released2018, an action plan is a ‘service grouping/programme.’ For a summary description of each action plan, refer to the RPH 2017-2018 Annual Plan (www.rph.org.nz/about-us/our-publications/). We are working towards understanding and following the Ministry’s direction for planning and reporting of public health services using an approach based on Results Based Accountability (RBA). The Ministry’s approach to RBA, focuses an annual report on measuring an organisation’s annual ‘provider performance.’ It is not focused on measuring the attributable contribution to ‘higher level’, population health outcomes. Identifying and agreeing practicable and meaningful accountability measures isUnder work in progress. The activity tables include three performance accountability measures, based on RBA and the Ministry’s guidelines for PHU planning. These measures cover the three dimensions of performance accountability: How many did we do?The (quantity of effort): # (number) How well did we do it? (quality of effort): % (percentage) Is anyone better off? (quantity and quality of effect): # and %. Official From the Ministry’s guidelines: “ ’Is anyone better off’ equates to ‘client outcomes’. ‘Client’ in Public Health means ‘the people, organisations, settings, partners who engage with or receive benefit/services from working with a public health service provider’.” Four categories are required to identify the direct/indirect ‘client’ outcome or ‘effect’ of the activities provided – i.e. ‘is anyone better off’: Information SK: change in skills/ knowledge AO: change in attitude/opinion BC: behavioural change CC: circumstance change Also required is: S: subjective data O: objective data Act 1982 Contract: 353575 Provider: 102501 Regional Public Health annual report for Ministry of Health 1 July 2017 – 30 June 2018 Page 4 Table 1.

  • Newsletter January 2015
    Friends of Baring Head Newsletter Visit us on line at http://www.baringhead.org.nz/ or follow us on Facebook January 2015 Number 9 Message from the Chair The regional park at Baring Head provides visitors with all sorts of recreation activities as well as opportunities for volunteer workers to protect and enhance the environment. For some time now the Friends have been thinking how to allow visitors and volunteers to combine their involvement in both of these interests and the first trip we’ve arranged for summer 2014/15 showed us this approach has real possibilities. The Friends arranged with a four-wheel drive group, the Cross Country Group, to transport people over to the Fitzroy Bay beach from the bridge car-park for a small charge. Available seats were in great demand, with some people having to be asked to wait for trips later in the summer. Many of those lucky enough to claim a seat hadn’t previously been to Baring Head and some weren’t even sure where it was! The first part of the trip was to the coast where, after an introductory talk and a chance to look at a new beachcombing booklet (see below in Finding out about what your beachcombing turns up) visitors were able to walk along the beach, finding treasures, removing horned poppy and picking up rubbish. The much- reduced horned poppy density is obvious along the sections of the beach that have been tackled – good work previous visitors and volunteers! On this occasion, more of the weed was cleared, particularly further south and near the climbing rocks.

Summary of Findings Population and projections (2018 Census) ● Population: The WCT region is home to around 469,047 people, or 9.8% of New Zealand’s population. It has five territorial authority areas. Two thirds of the people in the WCT region reside in two of these five areas – Wellington City (45%) and Lower Hutt City (22%). Porirua has 12% of the WCT population, followed by 11% in Kapiti Coast District and 9% in Upper Hutt City. ● Population projection: The WCT region’s population will increase by 11% by 2038. Projected population growth in the region is lower than the projected New Zealand average (20%). This means that by 2038, the WCT region is projected to represent a slightly reduced 9.0% of New Zealand’s population. ● Ethnicity: Porirua (22%) and Lower Hutt (10%) have populations with the highest proportion of Pacific Peoples in the WCT region. Both areas also have the populations with the highest proportion of Māori (18% and 16% respectively). Population projections show that Māori and Pacific communities will grow further in proportion in these two areas by 2038.
