It provides a detailed breakdown of our achievements for the 2023/24 financial year and the progress made towards our six strategic objectives:

  • Be the Government’s primary advisor on health
  • Future-proof our health system 
  • Be the regulator of the health system 
  • Transform ourselves.

Disclaimer: The graph for Figure 10, ‘Percentage of kaimahi who believe te ao Māori perspectives are relevant to their work’, differs from the print version of the Te Aho o Te Kahu 2023/23 Annual Report. This was due to an error where the graph for Figure 9, ‘Explain kaupapa Māori concepts’, was duplicated for both Figure 9 and Figure 10.
