Answer

I refer the Member to Written Parliamentary Question 37353 (2026). I am advised that Health New Zealand has work underway to improve the experiences of disabled people in the health system. This includes actions arising from the New Zealand Health Plan and the New Zealand Disability Strategy 2026–2030. I am further advised that Health NZ remains committed to working with the disability community and sector partners to ensure it provides safe, respectful, and accessible care to all.
