Why consult?
Informed consultation assists DHBs, health service providers and the public to:
- gain the full picture, understand and identify different communities’ needs and priorities
- provide opportunities (geographical, professional and communities with common interests) to participate in the development of policy and strategic decisions, and to test new ideas
- enhance the boards’ decision making by receiving information, opinions and ideas – as well as feedback from communities
- be accountable
- value consumer, community and provider input
- build positive relationships
- build consensus and encourage others to take co-ordinated actions
- develop partnerships
- collaborate in shared ownership of solutions
- share understanding of the decision making process and the decisions that are reached – even when some members of the community do not agree with them.
Consultation is a positive process that can contribute significantly to decision making. That, in turn, should result in better or more appropriate services for a region, better value for money and better co-operation and understanding from the public, allowing people to understand why and how decisions have been made.
