Green Cross Health shareholders vote this week on the $270 million sale of The Doctors to Tend Health
Green Cross Health shareholders vote on Tuesday on whether to sell The Doctors, the country’s largest network of general practices, to Tend Health for $270 million. The result will decide who owns the family doctor for more than 400,000 New Zealanders.
The Doctors is the medical arm of Green Cross Health, the NZX-listed company better known for its Life Pharmacy and Unichem chemist brands. The division runs 65 clinics and had about 413,000 enrolled patients as at March, the biggest enrolled base of any general practice group in the country. Under the deal, that whole network would pass to Tend Health, the primary care company co-founded by former My Food Bag entrepreneur Cecilia Robinson.
Tend already runs a mix of physical clinics and a nationwide digital service. It has about 25 clinics and more than 150,000 patients on its books. If the sale goes ahead, the combined business would operate more than 90 clinics with over 550,000 enrolled patients, or roughly one in ten New Zealanders who are signed up with a regular doctor.
A large part of the story is who is standing behind Tend. The company has told reporters the enlarged business will stay New Zealand owned, with iwi investors taking a bigger role. Ngāi Tahu Holdings, already a Tend shareholder, is supporting the transaction, and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei is lifting its stake as a key iwi partner. New investor Nāti Growth and existing shareholder Ahuahu Group are also part of the ownership group. Robinson, who is co-chief executive, said she was pleased to bring the company’s iwi partners closer in as part of the deal, as reported by RNZ.....

New Plymouth District Council (NPDC) and Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) on Thursday presented five possible future council structures for the region, in response to Government reforms.
Papers for a joint council workshop stressed that under the Local Government Act, any future arrangement must include Māori in decision-making.
Implications for iwi, hapū and Māori would “require detailed consideration” as a proposal was finalised for ministerial approval....
