Summary

This output plan is a performance agreement between the Minister of Health (the Minister) and the Director-General of Health, and includes the work programme for the Associate Ministers of Health. It covers the financial year ending 30 June 2019.

The plan is designed to show the Ministry of Health’s (the Ministry’s) commitment to deliver a range of ‘outputs’ to the Minister and Associate Ministers of Health, encompassing:

The plan is designed to demonstrate that New Zealanders will have access to strongly and strategically provided public health services which are well funded by the Government and that will deliver high-quality health outcomes.
