This report examines access and equity across primary and community care services for whānau Māori within our rohe. It focuses on the factors that determine whether whānau can access care in the first place, including GP enrolment, affordability, utilisation, wait times, and the wider barriers that prevent people from receiving timely support.

The report identifies where inequities occur, how these barriers contribute to poorer health outcomes, and the system changes required to improve access. It also highlights examples of kaupapa Māori and whānau-led approaches that are already making a difference, demonstrating what can be achieved when services are designed around the needs of whānau Māori.
