| 3. In Newfoundland and Labrador, six community health regions were reduced to four regional integrated health authorities (RIHAs). Boundaries unchanged for two RIHAs and the other four have been collapsed into two. Name and code changes in effect as of March 1st, 2005. | |
| 4. Previous six zones were aggregations of the nine district health authorities (DHA). Zones 1, 3 and 4 are each comprised of two DHAs. The remaining three zones change in name only with the following small exception. Mount Uniacke area, previously part of Zone 3 is cut-off by new DHA 4 boundary. Statistics for this area (population 1,114) will be included with DHA 9 (Halifax area). As a result, there is high comparability between Zone 6 and DHA 9 and between Zone 3 and DHA 4/5. | |
