Introduction from Leena Singh

I am pleased to have returned to the DHB and look forward to working with everyone.

During my time in 2019 whilst reviewing the DHB I was struck by how many dedicated staff Waikato has. This was a key reason for my decision to return in 2020 in a capacity where I can work directly with clinicians, support staff and managers of our hospital and community networks to assist in delivering quality equitable, accessible and safe health services while also managing our return to financial sustainability.

Over the next month I will be attempting to get to as many of the departments and community groups as possible throughout our network to introduce myself and get an initial sense of our priorities and challenges. Please feel free to stop me if you see me around and say “hello” or feel free to drop me an email with your thoughts on the opportunities for doing things differently.
