Typically this is groupings of two or three DHBs and may be formalized with an agreement e.g. Memorandum of Understanding. Examples include DHBs in the Auckland Metropolitan area, MidCentral and Whanganui DHBs (centralAlliance) and Canterbury and West Coast DHBs.
Targets
Targets are agreed levels of performance to be achieved within a specified period of time.

A target can also be in the form of a standard or a benchmark.
