About the Ministry of Health website

Use of macrons on this site


The Ministry of Health supports the correct use of the Māori language and in particular the Māori Language Commission guideline that macrons be used in Māori words where appropriate.

However, the ability to display macrons on our web site is limited by current technology and limited standardisation. Because of such technical constraints, the macrons which should appear in some Māori language words may either appear incorrectly, or not appear at all.

The Ministry of Health apologises for any offence this may cause.
