What is ‘equity’?The World Health Organization defines equity as:

..the absence of avoidable or remediable differences among populations or groups defined socially, economically, demographically or geographically. Equity is not a single component, but rather a cross-cutting dimension across all elements of quality. Focus is on reducing gaps in health outcomes between different groups based on ethnicity, deprivation, age, gender, disability and location.

Strong planning and collaboration is critical to achieving health equity for all New Zealanders.

Annual planning – a focus on ‘equity’The Ministry expects that achieving health equity is a focus for all DHB and

regional activity. DHB planning should involve input from Māori and Pacific health providers, NGOs etc.

The Ministry has recently updated the DHB Māori Health Profiles which present a snapshot of Māori health compared with non-Māori across a range of health and disability related indicators for each of the 20 district health boards. See www.health.govt.nz/publication/dhb-maori-health-profiles

In addition, the Ministry has also recently reported their first 6-monthly report on ‘Ala Mo’ui for Pacific peoples. See: http://www.health.govt.nz/publication/ala-moui-progress-report-june-2015

 The specific actions aiming to improve equity will vary between regions and priority areas depending on their various needs and can range from enabling collection of ethnicity data to targeting services.

DHBs are required to demonstrate that their Annual Plan and Māori Health Plan is developed jointly with the PHO(s) as outlined in the PHO Services Agreement.

Useful ToolsDHBs should use their health needs assessments and DHB Maori Health Profiles 2015 as well the 6-monthly ‘Ala Mo’ui reports for Pacific peoples to identify equity gaps, and then use the following tools, or others at their disposal, to help them identify appropriate activities to address these:
