August 2007 Wellington: Ministry of Health.
Available online as PDF file [48p.] at: http://www.moh.govt.nz/moh.nsf/pagesmh/6635/$File/health-targets-aug07.pdf"........ the New Zealand health sector is implementing Health Targets to focus resources and improve performance in 10 key areas. District Health Boards are working with the Ministry of Health to set and achieve them, and in so doing will contribute to overall improvement in the health of New Zealanders and reducing inequalities.
The 10 Health Target areas for 2007/08 will help us measure progress against achieving the Government's priority areas for health improvement. Along with addressing inequalities across population groups, improving Ma¯ori health and improving access for populations living with disabilities, these priority areas are:• getting ahead of the chronic disease burden
• child and youth services
• primary health care
• health of older people
• elective services
• infrastructure
• value for money.The selection of the specific targets within these priority areas was based on the principle that achieving the targets will make a significant contribution to improving health outputs or outcomes in these areas. There is enough detailed information available to allow that performance to be measured...."
