Te Tiriti o Waitangi

The principles guide the framework to support improved health outcomes and equity by:

• supporting tino rangatiratanga (self-determination): promoting and enabling self-determination for tāngata whai ora and whānau
• focusing our health workforce and services on values, attitudes, and skills that will contribute to equity of health and wellbeing outcomes
• guiding the health workforce to promote and provide effective service and support options
• encouraging and supporting development of effective partnerships with Māori across all levels of design and delivery of health services
• demonstrating commitment to active protection by building the capability of tāngata whai ora, whānau, the workforce, services, and communities to support wellbeing.
