Informed choice

People make informed choices about the health and social services that work best for them and have access to information to help them make those choices.

People have full access to their own health information and control over who else can access it.

People can choose services based on convenience and cost.

Convenience

Health services are more convenient with ‘virtual’ options available to all New Zealanders through a range of technologies

Closer to me

Care is provided closer to where people live, learn, work and play.
