Submission to the Māori Affairs Select Committee
Posted September 27, 2019
Te Ope Whakaora The Salvation Army welcomes this Parliamentary Inquiry into health inequalities affecting Māori.
The focus of the inquiry is on Māori experience of inequalities in cancer treatment, but this submission also focuses on the wider experience of Māori in our services, communities and within Te Ope Whakaora The Salvation Army who generally experience poorer access to health services.
We also share examples of where the health system ‘gets it right’ for Māori that can help guide the future of health services in this country
