Audits Related to Te Tiriti o Waitangi Principles in Health Organisations

Hone made this Official Information request to Simeon Brown

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Hone to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Hone

Dear Minister of Health,

Under the Official Information Act 1982, I would like to request the following information:

1. Number of Personnel Involved:

How many people within Health New Zealand and associated entities are involved in conducting cultural audits, such as the one mentioned in the He Ritenga report, which assesses alignment with Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles and commitments to improving Māori health outcomes?

2. Associated Costs:

What is the total cost associated with conducting these cultural audits, including personnel, operational, and reporting expenses?

3. Health Outcome Improvements:

Is there any documented evidence or evaluation on the impact of these audits on the health outcomes of all New Zealanders? If so, please provide copies of relevant reports or summaries of findings.

Context for Request:

This request is prompted by recent recognition of Pinnacle Midlands Health Network, which received the highest rating in a Health New Zealand cultural audit for its “alignment with Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles and commitment to improving Māori health outcomes.”

The audit, as documented in the He Ritenga report, awarded Pinnacle the top rating of Kua Mutu Pea for its “exceptional integration of Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles into governance, operations, and service delivery.”

I am particularly interested in understanding the scope and resource allocation required for such audits, as well as any measurable impacts on health outcomes of all New Zealanders.

I invite your response within the statutory timeframe.

Kind regards,

Hone
