Health and disability strategies

Within the legislative framework set by the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act, the strategic direction of the sector has been set by two overarching strategic documents - the New Zealand Health Strategy and the New Zealand Disability Strategy. These two strategies are supported by other more targeted strategies that provide guidance and advice in specific areas.
