Priority | Te Tiriti o Waitangi Priority | Treaty of Waitangi
Goal
PHARMAC honours and actively upholds Te Tiriti o Waitangi across all our work to achieve 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 PHARMAC’s 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.
