Media Release 22 March 2018
NZNO MECA meetings coming to a close
NZNO Industrial Services Manager Cee Payne explains that voting on the proposed mediated offer on the DHB Multi-Employer Collective Agreement for members employed by DHBs will close on Friday 23 March (tomorrow).
Our members’ decision will be communicated to the DHB employer representatives on Monday 26 March. Members will be informed of their decision shortly thereafter.
The collective employment agreement covers 27,000 nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants.
“The turn out to meetings has been high in this round of DHB MECA negotiations and we acknowledge our members’ commitment to engaging in the ballot when work environments are busy,” Cee Payne said
“A decade of severe health budget underfunding combined with growing community need for health services, and the demands of an ageing population have impacted negatively on our members working lives.
“The ‘#hearourvoice’ social media, NZNO Facebook posts and the NZNO ‘I heart nurses’ campaign reflect the emotion of our members and their real sense of being undervalued.
“There are a number of complexities involved in this big decision for members this time,” Cee Payne said.
ENDS.

Advance Care Planning
Advance Care Planning Day is an opportunity for each region to connect with their communities to enhance the profile and knowledge of advance care planning. Advance Care Planning Day was previously known as Conversations that Count Day.
The Health Quality & Safety Commission is overseeing the national advance care planning programme, with funding from district health boards (DHBs).
Advisory and steering groups have been established to support and guide the programme.
About two weeks before Advance Care Planning Day, key messages and tweets will be sent to DHB communication managers and ACP contacts; and a national media release will be sent out on 4 April.
Over 60,000 resources have been dispatched to DHBs and others. A new resource entitled What matters most for your future care is available in hard copy, or can be downloaded from our website.
For further information please email Clare O’Leary.
We look forward to hearing more about your events across the regions.

Headline: Plunket Transition Update
People are talking about Plunket this week and we understand some people are wondering what we are doing.
We want to assure New Zealanders that hundreds of dedicated Plunket staff and volunteers up and down the country are doing the same thing today that we’ve been doing for over 110 years – looking after families at one of the most critical and special times of their lives. We continue to do this and our Plunket nursing service is not changing.
But Plunket has recently made some changes to our structure – because we have to – but it looks like not everyone knows that story; why and how we are transforming, and what it means for New Zealand.
Through our proud 110 year history, everything our dedicated staff, volunteers and supporters have done has been about investing in families and children so we can make the biggest difference in their lives. But we all know, society is constantly changing and we have to change with it.
New Zealand has too many children living in poverty, and we have a new generation of parents wanting our services delivered in ways that work for them and at times that suit them, including through digital channels.
This is what led us to make historic changes over the last few years to our governance structure and to become a single national entity.
Our previous structure had led to vast disparities in our support to communities. In those areas with an active area society and volunteer base – Plunket’s extra services were plentiful. But in others, often those that needed it most, dwindling volunteer numbers and fewer members to support area societies, meant there were hardly any community services at all.
This was a courageous step by our membership to vote to consolidate and work together to address the needs of all families.
We will continue to work with our volunteers, communities and funders. These friends play a vital role in building our future because, while our Well Child service is funded by the Government, all our other services including parenting education, refugee family groups and playgroups for example, only happen because of their generous support – of funding, time and local people understanding local needs.
We know change is hard. But our decisions will necessarily be bold and brave so we can be there when families need us and we can deliver our strategy, the Journey Towards Generational Change.
If you would like to hear Plunket CEO, Amanda Malu talk about Plunket’s changes you can listen here.

Headline: Plunket in the news
Tonight One News ran a story regarding Plunket’s decision to close our Karori crèche and also included mention of our ongoing work with the Culverden community regarding a Plunket property.
The story suggested that Plunket was taking or selling the Culverden building. This is not the case. We want to maintain a strong presence in communities and many of our buildings play an important role in connecting families to Plunket’s services.
In 2016, Plunket’s Area Boards voted for Plunket to become a single unified entity. In areas with an active area society and volunteer base Plunket’s extra services were plentiful, but in others, often those that needed it most, dwindling volunteer numbers and fewer members to support area societies, meant there were few community services at all. This structure had led to disparities in our support to communities.
The vote to come together was an historic step and one that has given us the full strength of Plunket’s people, property and resources to really make the difference for families across the country – especially our most vulnerable.
Across New Zealand, we’ve made a commitment that if there are any plans to change a property a Plunket community uses, we will engage first. This is part of the Plunket Trust Deed to ensure our volunteers understand that local consultation remains a priority.
Plunket was built on the hard work of volunteers and we continue to treasure that. We also greatly appreciate the generous support – financial and otherwise – offered by others including funders, partners, and sponsors.
