The Government has picked which organisation will deliver Whanau Ora services in Te Waipounamu - the South Island.

Te Putahitanga o Te Waipounamu has been chosen.

It's made up of nine iwi including Ngati Koata and Ngai Tahu.

Last month, the Government announced Pasifika Futures as the Whanau Ora agency to look after the needs of Pacific communities.

An agency for the North Island is yet to be named.
