Capital & Coast District Health Board

What Capital & Coast District Health Board does

Capital & Coast District Health Board (CCDHB) was a New Zealand Crown entity that operated public hospital and health services for the Wellington, Hutt Valley, Porirua, and Kāpiti communities. Following the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act reforms effective July 2022, CCDHB was dissolved as a standalone entity and absorbed into Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora, where it now operates as the 'Wellington, Hutt and Kāpiti' district. The organisation delivers secondary and tertiary care through Wellington Regional Hospital (which includes a 24/7 emergency department, a tertiary birthing unit, and mental health inpatient services), Hutt Hospital (secondary birthing unit), Kenepuru Community Hospital, Kāpiti Health Centre, and the Te Wao Nui Child Health Service and Hospital. Specialised services include the Mental Health, Addiction and Intellectual Disability Service (MHAIDS), the National Public Health Service for Greater Wellington, and the Bee Healthy Regional Dental Service.

The digital service portfolio overlays the physical footprint and includes Healthline (a 24/7 telephone advice line at 0800 611 116), Online GP Care (video and phone consultations with prescribing capability), Ka Ora Telecare (free after-hours care for rural communities and under-14s), and My Health Record, a national personal health information portal hosted at my.health.nz. Core operational partnerships with Hato Hone St John and Wellington Free Ambulance provide pre-hospital emergency response and patient transport.

The business model is public funding through New Zealand government appropriations administered via Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora. CCDHB does not operate as a commercial entity, has no external investors, and does not publicly disclose pricing because services are free at the point of use to eligible residents. The customer base is the entire regional catchment population, and the 'payer' is a single government funder, making the organisation's financial position entirely dependent on Crown health appropriations and national health policy decisions.
