In addition, there will be a new Maori Health Authority and a renewed nationwide focus on public health, mental health and a focus on workforce development that recognises the value of diversity. The new health organisation is a response to the need to address inequalities and the barriers that vulnerable communities such as Maori and Pasifika have faced for decades. I'm pleased to also announce that Cabinet signed off on a dedicated Pacific-led policy focus, and a dedicated focus for Pacific at the operational level of the new organisation so there is targetted support by Health NZ utilising Pacific leadership and expertise at the national, regional and local levels. In addition there is accountability for better Pacific health outcomes to the Minister for Pacific People and the La langa Fou DCE Group.

  • Regulation of Drug Checking Services
    IN CONFIDENCE In Confidence Office of the Minister of Health Cabinet Social Wellbeing Committee Regulation of drug checking services Proposal 1 This paper seeks agreement to amend the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 and the Psychoactive Substances Act 2013 to enable a permanent system of regulation for drug checking service providers. Relation to government priorities 2 This proposal does not relate to a Government priority. Executive Summary 3 Drug checking services check the composition of illicit drugs and provide harm reduction advice to help individuals make informed decisions about drug use. Where a drug is not as presumed, the individual can make the potentially life-saving decision not to consume it. 4 Drug checking is currently regulated under amendmentsreleased made by the Drug and Substance Checking Legislation Act 2020 (the Drug Checking Act) to the Misuse of Drugs Act and the Psychoactive Substances Act. These amendments allow appointed drug checking service providers to operate with legal certainty. 5 The Drug Checking Act was always intended to be temporary legislation to allow time for a permanent licensing system to be developed. The Drug Checking Act includes mechanisms which will repeal the amendments to the Misuse of Drugs Act and the Psychoactive Substances Act in December 2021. 6 If a permanent system is not in place when the Drug Checking Act repeal provisions take effect, drug checking will revert to a legal grey area. This would impede service provision and make it more difficult to prevent harm from dangerous substances such as synthetic cathinones (sometimes known as “bath salts”). Regulation is required to enable good quality services and to prevent low-quality service providers from operating.

  • NZ Aid Under the New Labour Government
    Published on November 6, 2020 Nanaia Mahuta, New Zealand's newly-appointed Foreign Minister. (New Zealand Labour Party) Link: https://devpolicy.org/nz-aid-under-the-new-labour-government-20201106-2/ Page 1 of 5 Date downloaded: September 26, 2021 Published on November 6, 2020 NZ aid under the new Labour government By Terence Wood On 17 October, New Zealand’s Labour party was re-elected in a landslide. The same election saw New Zealand First, the nationalist party that had been a linchpin in Labour’s coalition government, wiped out. As a result, Winston Peters, New Zealand First’s leader, is no longer foreign minister and no longer in charge of New Zealand aid. In the first decade of the millennium, an aid-friendly Labour-led government transformed New Zealand’s government aid program. Labour’s current leader – Jacinda Ardern – exudes empathy, and was once the head of an internationalist, social democratic youth movement. These must be good times for New Zealand government aid, right? Not necessarily. Winston Peters may have peddled xenophobia as he scrounged around for votes, but as foreign minister – a role he held from 2005 to 2008, and again from 2017 to 2020 – he lost his hostility to the rest of the world remarkably quickly. Both times he served in the role, aid grew as a share of GNI. Indeed, Peters successfully lobbied for more aid in 2018, prevailing over Treasury, which opposed the increase. Although he took an active interest in aid volumes, Peters was less interested in aid quality. He was happy to trust the bureaucracy.

    DECEMBER 2020 BRIEFING TO THE INCOMING MINISTER OF HEALTH HON ANDREW LITTLE Hon Peeni Henare Associate Minister of Health - Māori Health Hon Ayesha Verrall Associate Minister of Health Hon Aupito William Sio Associate Minister of Health - Pacific Peoples Hon Damien O’Connor Minister for Rural Communities Hon Chris Hipkins Minister Covid-19 Response Hon Carmel Sepuloni Minister for ACC FOREWORD An introduction to the Rural Health Networks: NZ Rural General Practice Network, NZ Rural Hospital Network, Students of Rural Health Aotearoa, Rural Nurses NZ, Rural Health Alliance Aotearoa NZ. Tenā koe Ministers Congratulations on your new portfolios. We look forward to working with you to help shape a brighter future for the health and wellbeing of rural communities in New Zealand. We want to be frank with you, rural health in New Zealand is in crisis. The workforce is depleted, stressed and concerned about their ability to sustain the level of support their communities need. The funding formulas for rural health are woefully outdated, including provisions for afterhours and remote rural emergency responses. This situation is exacerbated by the lack of availability of broadband in rural areas that restricts access to many technological advances in effective health provision. There are not enough rural health professionals being trained to fill the current gaps in health provision, let alone forecasts of significant growth in demand. There is also a dearth of empirical data to measure the inequitable health outcomes in rural communities compared to urban centres. Without this data, and the ability to reliably update it, there is no clear way to establish targets and hold health authorities to account.
