Māori Health Disparities • Māori health is worse than non-Māori health for almost every disease condition • DHBs have a legislative requirement to address this issue
History: Māori Health Plans • OPF expectation that DHBs have a MHP since 2006/2007 • All DHBs have had a MHP • Some expired • Majority will expire by 2012 • Existing MHPs of variable quality
MHPs Inconsistent • Range of Accountability and Monitoring arrangements • Some with strong accountability • Some with no accountability • Most MHPs align with DAP • Some don’t • Most MHPs written by DHB • Some not
New Approach to MHPs Change from relationship building to monitoring DHB activities

MHP Format • Purpose • Health Needs of Maori in the District • National Priorities • Regional Priorities • Local Priorities
