Te Tiratū Iwi Māori Partnership Board April Whānau Voice Report mirrored by Te Whatu Ora data has evidenced immunisation rates 33% lower than the national average, widespread inequities, long wait times, and unaffordable care still plaguing whānau Māori in its Tainui waka rohe.
The Board, which holds legislative responsibilities under the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022 to represent Māori voices in health and monitor health system delivery of Te Whatu Ora, gathered lived experiences from 53 whānau across its rohe.
Behind every statistic is a whānau member struggling in silence.
