Project Goal
The overarching goal of the project is to provide modern, effective, and appropriate inpatient and outpatient services to the communities of the North Island at two new state‐of‐the‐art hospitals. This goal is supported by the following four objectives:

- Enhance quality of care for patients, especially elderly and Aboriginal populations;
- Improve access to services for all North Island communities; and
- Maximize staff and physician recruitment and retention potential.
