As of 2016, it was responsible for 534,750 residents; or 11% of New Zealand's population.[3] In July 2022, CM Health was merged into the national health service Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand).

## History

[edit]

The Counties Manukau District Health Board, like most other district health boards (DHBs), came into effect on 1 January 2001 established by the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000.[4]

On 1 July 2022, the Counties Manukau DHB was merged into Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand), which took over the functions and responsibilities of the former DHBs including hospitals and health services.[5] Counties Manukau was subsumed into Te Whatu Ora's Northern division.[6]

## Facilities

[edit]

There are also specialised smaller scale health centres referred to as SuperClinics, they are, Manukau SuperClinic and Botany SuperClinic.[7]

## Geographic area

[edit]

The area covered by the Counties Manukau District Health Board is defined in Schedule 1 of the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and based on territorial authority and ward boundaries as constituted as at 1 January 2001.[8] The area can be adjusted through an Order in Council.[9]
