The main output for Funding and Planning Directorate is to support the effective and efficient delivery of
Community, Hospital and Outer Islands health services throughout the Cook Islands with a focus on providing
funding and planning services. This will be achieved through strong leadership, vision, strategic direction,
evidence based policy, and the development of a performance based culture and excellence. This will require
prudent and transparent financial management systems which demonstrate accountability and compliance with national
mandatory legislation, in tandem with sustainable health workforce planning and resource allocation, a robust
information and communications management framework and effective asset management and planning.
