Tēnā koe,

I am pleased to confirm that the Pae Ora, Healthy Futures Strategies will be launched this afternoon, and will be available on the Manatū Hauora website from 2pm.  

The strategies are an important milestone in the ongoing health reforms. They set the direction for a system that is equitable, accessible, cohesive and people-centred, and which will improve the health and wellbeing of all New Zealanders.  

The strategies will be brought to life over the coming months through the Government Policy Statement on Health (GPS), Te Pae Tata and other work programmes. I look forward to collaborating closely with you to bring about meaningful change and improvement across the health system. 

Should you have any questions about the strategies or the next steps please let me know. 

Ngā mihi
