Health Targets
Health Targets are a set of national performance measures specifically designed to improve the performance of health services. They provide a focus for action.
The impact they make can be measured to see how they are improving health for all New Zealanders.
Health targets were introduced to the New Zealand health system in 2007/08.
They are reviewed annually to ensure they align with government health priorities.
This section provides information on the targets, the reasons for them, who is responsible and how they will be measured and reported on.
Health target results are published every quarter. See the latest health targets for 2012/13.
