Auckland DHB was established under the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 to:

• Improve, promote, and protect the health of communities.
• Integrate health services, especially primary and secondary care services.
• Promote effective care or support of those in need of health services or disability support.

We are working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of services, with primary care and our neighbouring DHBs in the northern region to ensure patients have the health services they need.

Auckland DHB has three major facilities: Auckland City Hospital, Starship Children's Hospital and Greenlane Clinical Centre. Auckland City Hospital is New Zealand’s largest public hospital as well as the largest clinical research facility. There are approximately one million patient contacts each year, including hospital and outpatient service

The Centre for Clinical Research and effective practice (CCRep) was established in 2001 to administer commercial drug trials on behalf of Counties Manukau Health (CM Health). Effective 1 July 2015, CCRep was renamed as Middlemore Clinical Trials Trust, trading as Middlemore Clinical Trials. Our research role has changed over the years and we believe the previous name no longer reflected our identity. As a result, we have renamed ourselves to create a new identity and a renewed set of visions and values. We still remain committed to quality clinical research and dedicated and professional patient care. Middlemore Clinical Trials is an independent legal entity operating as a Charitable Trust. CM Health has representation on our Board of Trustees, but there is an independent Chairman and majority of independent Trustees. Middlemore Clinical Trials occupies premises on the Ground Floor of the Esme Green Building at Middlemore Hospital. Middlemore Clinical Trials signs Clinical Trial Agreements as the institution and assumes legal and financial risk; carries extensive public liability insurance cover and indemnifies CM Health
