Could the Wairarapa DHB join with Hawke's Bay?
If the number of DHBs was to reduce as recommended by yesterday's DHB review, it would make sense to combine Hawke's Bay and Wairarapa DHBs, says one of the country's longest-standing elected members.
Hawke's Bay DHB member, Kevin Atkinson, who has been elected on seven occasions since 2001, and served as chair for 18 years until last year, said he was quite confident that Hawke's Bay DHB would be one of the 8-12 retained under the review.
"We're tenth based on population [out of all 20 DHBs] and I think Hawke's Bay would be a logical centre. One option would be to take in Dannevirke and Wairarapa, which would see our DHB cover Ngāti Kahungunu territory. That would make sense," he said.
