Towards a National Addiction Model of Care (1)
• A model of care is a key step towards shaping future services
• Provides a supporting, flexible framework that enables models of care to be developed for regional or local level services
• Encourages integration, collaboration and systems thinking and addresses the limitations / gaps in current services
• What a good addiction treatment system looks like at the
national level - what to include and the principles to underpin it
• Recognises that change has resource implications – will help
inform future service investment decisions.
Towards a National Addiction Model of Care (2)
• We have organised or attended some workshops with the regions – today is another step in our engagement
• Although it is early days we want to reiterate:
• Will align with Government intentions around implementing He Ara Oranga
• We want to work with you - convene and collaborate – and will consult you formally.
How would you like us to engage with you / your organisation?
