"How the Government Creates a Health Plan"

Illustration for Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022

When you are making a health strategy, the Minister has to think about advice from the Hauora Māori Advisory Committee. The Minister also has to think about current strategies when making a new health strategy. You will be consulted if the Minister thinks you will be affected by the health strategy. The Minister has to show the health strategy to the House of Representatives as soon as possible after it is made. The health strategy must be made available to the public as soon as possible after it is made. This is so you can see what the health strategy is and what it says.
