Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill. The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that the Māori Health Authority has the legislative powers and functions necessary to carry out its role effectively. It does this by strengthening its powers to ensure that Health New Zealand cannot progress on issues such as health workforce planning and service provision without the agreement of the Māori Health Authority.
The aim of establishing the Māori Health Authority is to improve health outcomes for tangata whenua and end persistent inequities and systemic racism for Māori in the health system. If the Māori Health Authority is legislated as a second-class agency in relation to Health New Zealand, then Māori are being set up to fail—you cannot solve inequities by creating new inequities.
