Performance measures are one of the schedules to the Crown Funding Agreement. They updated annually.

The DHB non-financial monitoring framework aims to provide a rounded view of performance in key areas using a range of performance markers. Four dimensions are identified reflecting DHB functions as owners, funders and providers of health and disability services. The four identified dimensions of DHB performance cover:

• achieving Government’s priority goals/objectives and targets or ‘Policy priorities’
• meeting service coverage requirements and Supporting sector inter-connectedness or ‘System Integration’
• providing quality services efficiently or ‘Ownership’
• purchasing the right mix and level of services within acceptable financial performance or ‘Outputs’.
