Health

Health and Disability Services Act 1993

Notice to the Health Funding Authority of the Crown’s Statement of Objectives for Health and Disability Services, March 2000

I, Annette King, hereby give the Health Funding Authority notice of the Crown’s objectives in relation to the matters described in section 8 of the Health and Disability Services Act 1993.

This statement sets out the Government’s priorities for the health and disability support services sector. These priorities will be further developed following consultation on and completion of the New Zealand Health Strategy. These objectives replace those which were previously issued for 1999/00 and 2000/01.

The Government has issued this statement to the Chair of the Health Funding Authority (HFA) and it expects these priorities to be given immediate effect by the HFA and the Ministry of Health.

Health Sector Goals

The health sector is expected to work to achieve the following goals:

• Very good health and independence for all New Zealanders, and lower disparities in health and disability outcomes;

• Access for all New Zealanders to an acceptable range of health care and disability support services, regardless of ability to pay;

• A high-performing system in which people have confidence.

Service Priorities

Acknowledging the special relationship between Māori and the Crown

The Treaty of Waitangi is recognised as New Zealand’s founding document and as a basis of constitutional government in this country. The Government recognises Māori as tangata whenua and is committed to fulfilling its obligations as a Treaty partner.

The HFA will work with the Ministry of Health to identify and account for HFA spending on Māori and will allocate resources to increase Māori participation in service delivery across the health and disability sector. Further, the HFA will include Māori in decision making processes, and will support the empowerment of whānau, hapū, iwi and Māori communities to achieve their goals in the health sector.
