He Korowai Oranga - Te Ara Tuatahi – Pathway Three

Within the context of the two broad directions and the three threads outlined, four pathways for action specify how the aim of improved whānau ora is to be achieved. These pathways are not mutually exclusive but are intended to work as an integrated whole. Whakatātaka sets out specific expectations of Crown agencies for each of the pathways over the next two to three years.

Pathway Three - Effective health and disability services.

This pathway aims to ensure that whānau receive timely, high-quality, effective and culturally appropriate health and disability services to improve whānau ora and reduce inequalities.

This pathway aims to ensure that whānau receive timely, high-quality, effective and culturally appropriate health and disability services to improve whānau ora and reduce inequalities.

Effective health and disability services for Māori will be co-ordinated around the needs and realities of whānau and will incorporate Māori cultural values, beliefs and practices.

These services will be highly competent and will know how to address inequalities in outcomes and access to services, that many Māori currently experience.

DHBs are expected to put processes in place to make sure that high-quality services are delivered to whānau in a timely manner.

Key aspects in achieving effective services are:
• addressing health inequalities for Māori
• improving the effectiveness of mainstream services
• providing the highest quality service
• improving Māori health information.
