Statement of Service Performance for year ended 30 June 2013
How are we performing?
Sitting beneath our three strategic goals, we have identified 16 key impact areas where we can make a
measurable contribution in the medium-term to achieving these long-term outcomes. The impacts reflect
areas of activity where we can influence change and make a difference in improving the health and wellbeing
of our population. We have set targets against these key impact measures in order to evaluate the impact of
service delivery over a three-to-five year period. This section provides an update on our progress.
Overall, these impact indicators would suggest the health status of the Bay of Plenty population has improved
over the past year. To assist you in reading and interpreting this report, we have colour coded our 2013
achievements. A green figure indicates that our performance has achieved, or exceeded the target. A red
figure indicates that we have not achieved the target.
Outcome: People take greater responsibility for their health

This data is sourced from the NZ Health
Survey, and the latest results are not yet
available from the Ministry of Health.
Our best indicator for smoking prevalence is
currently the ‘Current Smoker Recorded’ field
in the Primary Health Organisation (PHO)
reporting. This would indicate a smoking
prevalence rate of 20.6%, marginally above
that national average of 20.0%. This has
improved on the 21.1% reported for this
measure in Quarter 4 2011/12. As smokers
are likely to be proportionately over
represented in the General Practice visits it is
likely our population are close to target.
