How is the new "injury and illness" service at Dargaville Hospital funded and staffed between Health NZ and the privately owned Dargaville Medical Centre?

Answer
I am advised that Dargaville Medical Centre (DMC) and Health New Zealand are working together to operate the injury and illness service. This service is funded through existing contractual arrangements between DMC/Mahi Tahi Haurora PHO and Health NZ, and from Health NZ baseline funding.
