Parliamentary paper shoulder numbers and banner of statutory compliance
District health boards (DHBs) and some multi-parent health Crown Entity subsidiaries are required to affix shoulder numbers and banners of statutory compliance to the covers of their Annual Reports and Statements of Intent/Statements of Performance Expectations, as these documents are designated 'Parliamentary Papers'.
Last updated 2 October 2019.
Parliamentary Papers are published under the authority of the House of Representatives, and Annual Reports and Statements of Intent/Statements of Performance Expectations must conform to requirements for Parliamentary Papers set by the Office of the Clerk. Under current requirements, Parliamentary Papers must be produced in A4 size and include the appropriate shoulder number in the top right-hand corner of the cover and title page.
Shoulder numbers are issued by the Office of the Clerk (Bills Office). The title page should include the formal name of the Crown Entity and the financial year to which the Annual Report or Statement of Intent/Statement of Performance Expectations relates.
DHBs are reminded that the SPE document provided for tabling can be:
- an SOI incorporating the SPE,
- an Annual Report incorporating the SPE, or
- the (draft) Annual Plan incorporating the SPE.
In each case the documents need to be clearly labelled on the cover page as follows:
For those DHBs that are producing an Annual Plan incorporating the SOI/SPE the banner should read:
Presented to the House of Representatives pursuant to sections 149 and 149(L) of the Crown Entities Act 2004.
and title should read:
2019/20 Annual Plan incorporating the 2019/20-2022/23 Statement of Intent and 2019/20 Statement of Performance Expectations
For those DHBs that are producing an Annual Report incorporating the SOI/SPE the banner should read:
Presented to the House of Representatives pursuant to sections 150, 149, and 149(L) of the Crown Entities Act 2004.
and title should read:
2018/19 Annual Report incorporating the 2019/20-2022/23 Statement of Intent and 2019/20 Statement of Performance Expectations
For those DHBs that are producing a standalone SOI that incorporates the SPE the banner should read:
Presented to the House of Representatives pursuant to sections 149 and 149(L) of the Crown Entities Act 2004.
and title should read:
2019/20-2022/23 Statement of Intent incorporating the 2019/20 Statement of Performance Expectations
