Access and Equity in Public and Population Health

This report examines access and equity across public and population health services for whānau Māori within our rohe. It focuses on cancer screening, immunisation, prevention programmes, and the commissioning decisions that influence whether whānau receive timely access to early intervention and care.

The report identifies where inequities persist, how these gaps contribute to poorer long-term outcomes, and the actions required to improve performance. It also highlights the role of kaupapa Māori and Māori-led approaches in improving engagement, strengthening trust, and achieving better outcomes for whānau Māori.
