(vi) Encourage greater participation of Maori at all levels of the health and disability support sector of Maori.

(h) That particular consideration is given to groups with special needs.

The following items are to be noted in relation to this objective:

People with Low Health Status
Strategies to improve access to health and disability services for Eligible People with lower health status, including Pacific Island communities, should be developed in the transitional year.

People with Disabilities—Support for Independence
As far as reasonably possible in the transitional year, Eligible People with disabilities and their families should:

(i) Have improved access to assessment and rehabilitative disability services;

(ii) Have access to disability services which are better co-ordinated and more flexible;

(iii) Have access to disability services which are culturally appropriate for their needs; and

(iv) Continue to have access to the disability services they are receiving as at 30 June 1993 until 30 June 1996 (except if the service is home help, in which case the option is until 30 June 1994 or the review date), unless that person is reassessed and agrees to a different service arrangement.

There should be greater emphasis on:

(v) Supporting Eligible People with disabilities to allow them to be as independent as possible, close to their homes, and integrated into their communities;

(vi) Appropriate management of deinstitutionalisation; and

(vii) The use of protocols for assessing the support needs of Eligible People with disabilities. (An assessment protocol for Eligible People with age-related disabilities will be introduced before 1 July 1993).
