8 Implementati<strong>on</strong><br />
8.1 C<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
8.1.1 The effective implementati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this framework will require careful planning.<br />
It is critical that implementati<strong>on</strong> does not cause unnecessary disrupti<strong>on</strong> to<br />
whānau and/or providers, but c<strong>on</strong>tributes to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir sustainability. As noted, we<br />
recommend a staged approach to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> full implementati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> our proposal,<br />
which allows for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> capacity and capability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> whānau, providers and<br />
government agencies to be fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r developed. Our proposal will result in<br />
changes for all <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se groups.<br />
8.1.2 The <str<strong>on</strong>g>Taskforce</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>siders that successful implementati<strong>on</strong> requires alignment<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> implementati<strong>on</strong> activities with budget cycles. To maximise existing<br />
opportunities to achieve best outcomes for whānau we recommend that<br />
Whānau <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ora</str<strong>on</strong>g> is implemented in successive phases. This approach will allow<br />
immediate movement <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> part <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> providers who have developed whānaucentred<br />
ways <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> working in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> first phase <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> implementati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Whānau<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Ora</str<strong>on</strong>g>, and support <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir increased effectiveness. It will give o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r whānau<br />
and providers <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> opportunity to develop fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r, or for provider networks to<br />
be established where this approach will best meet <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> needs <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> whānau in<br />
diverse communities.<br />
8.1.3 The possibility <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a hiatus between provisi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> our advice and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
implementati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> framework could put at risk <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> required rate <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
progress to be made in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> coming financial year.<br />
8.1.4 Our proposed soluti<strong>on</strong> to this risk is that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Minister appoints appropriate<br />
independent pers<strong>on</strong>nel to provide advice and inform <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> implementati<strong>on</strong><br />
process prior to July 2010. Independent advice could <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>n be provided to<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Minister regarding both establishment <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Trust and initiating <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> first<br />
phase <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> service provisi<strong>on</strong>.<br />
8.2 Transiti<strong>on</strong>al Arrangements<br />
8.2.1 A number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> acti<strong>on</strong>s are required to enable <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Trust to commence<br />
operati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> 1 July 2010. These include all activities associated with<br />
establishing <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Trust, including c<strong>on</strong>firmati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> funding and resourcing.<br />

• appointment <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Whānau <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ora</str<strong>on</strong>g> Minister<br />
