Te Puni Kōkiri will replace the three current Whānau Ora commissioning agencies in July to localise services. The decision involves $155 million in service contracts and may affect approximately 1,000 jobs. The commissioning agency chair warned that these changes could jeopardise a decade of relationship building.
