Health Targets

Moving towards healthier futures
www.moh.govt.nz/healthtargets

In 2007/2008 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 aim of Health Targets is to improve health outcomes over time by focusing on priority areas. They will give us a focus for action - enabling us to go harder and faster - and we will be able to measure their impact to see what difference we are making.

This section provides information on the targets and why they've been introduced, who is responsible for them, how they will be developed and measured, and related resources.
