Regional cancer networks
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 that work across organisational boundaries to promote a collaborative approach to service planning and delivery.
The four regional networks follow district health board (DHB) geographical coverage areas,and the patient flow to the regional cancer centres.
