Priority | Te Tiriti o Waitangi Priority | Treaty of Waitangi
Goal
Te Pātaka Whaioranga – Pharmac honours and actively upholds Te Tiriti o Waitangi across all our work to achieve the best health outcomes for Māori within our available resources.
What we’ve heard
”Pharmac’s Te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations should sit at the centre of all Pharmac’s decision-making.”
Outcomes
- Te Tiriti is embedded and is fundamental to Pharmac’s objectives and working culture, and sits alongside our purpose.
- Te Tiriti is reflected in the way we plan for, resource, organise and deliver our work as an organisation, and we measure and monitor organisational Te Tiriti compliance.
- All our work delivers for Māori, with Māori, by Māori. This is planned for and appropriately resourced across all directorates.
How we will measure performance
- Routine monitoring of our organisation’s Te Tiriti o Waitangi compliance, and planning to address areas for improvement.
