Our population’s needs are diverse, and our health system must reflect that diversity in both design and delivery to meet the National Health Targets. We recommend that the Healthy Futures (Pae Ora) Amendment Bill must retain clear legislative commitments to meet the distinct needs of all New Zealand communities, including Asian New Zealanders, by:
placing statutory commitments to equity through other instruments in the legislation such the NZ Health Plan or Government Policy Statement
including translated information and access to interpreter services as part of the definition of “timeliness” in the new Statutory Purpose in Clause 5
ensuring boards and committees reflect the communities they serve
ensuring any private sector collaboration remain centred around the service user and public health priorities,
engaging with Asian community organisations like AFS to identify infrastructure priorities and collaborate on its design
collecting accurate, disaggregated population data, and
embedding evaluation frameworks from procurement through to programme delivery with clear accountability to achieving the National Health Targets.
