Regional public health services were delivered by 12 public health units (PHUs), which were owned by district health boards until these were replaced by Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand and Te Aka Whai Ora Māori Health Authority in 2022. Non-governmental organisations also delivered some of these services. PHUs concentrated on major public-health services, such as tobacco control and health promotion. This map shows the boundaries of the PHUs in 2011.
