Statistics & research He tatauranga, he rangahau

Data and insights from our health surveys, research and monitoring.

The Ministry of Health – Manatū Hauora has developed a snapshot report to monitor the progress the health system is making on delivery against the Interim Government Policy Statement on Health 2022–2024 (iGPS). The iGPS set the Government’s priorities and expectations for the health system for 2022–2024 as well as the framework for the interim New Zealand Health Plan | Te Pae Tata 2022 (interim NZ Health Plan).

The snapshot report contains national results for iGPS measures from the first year (2022/23) of the two-year interim period.

In addition to the results in the snapshot report, supplementary data for the measures by district, ethnicity and other breakdowns can be found on the Ministry of Health – Manatū Hauora GitHub page.

We have published an addendum to the iGPS. The addendum is an update of Appendix 3, which contains detailed definitions of the measures used for reporting on the iGPS.

In response to the iGPS, Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora and Te Aka Whai Ora | Māori Health Authority developed the interim NZ Health Plan. The interim NZ Health Plan includes actions to deliver better outcomes in the priority iGPS areas. Reporting on progress and delivery of actions in the interim NZ Health Plan is on the Health New Zealand website in their official publications (eg, quarterly reports, annual report).
