“The government treats injury information as official data”

Injury-related statistics are considered official statistics under the Data and Statistics Act 2022. This means that when you look at information about injuries, it’s treated as official data by the government. The Data and Statistics Act 2022 is a law that sets rules for how this kind of information is handled and used. So, when someone talks about injury statistics in New Zealand, you can know that they’re using information that follows the rules set out in this important law.
