The Health and Independence Report is required under section 3C of the Health Act 1956 and has previously been published as a separate report at the end of the calendar year.

It draws together information on health and disability sector strategies, funding, workforce and activities to analyse the health and disability sector’s achievements and progress towards outcomes. In addition to presenting data on system inputs, outputs and outcomes, the report includes interim ‘headline’ indicators, which are a starting point for assessing progress towards system and societal outcomes.
