Whānau Voice - Issue 1

The Whānau Voice Report compiles insights from whānau, hapū, and iwi within our IMPB area, along with feedback from Hauora Māori service providers. This collaborative effort aims to capture the experiences, views, and health needs of whānau, informing the Te Taura Ora o Waiariki IMPB ‘Hauora Māori Priorities Report’ (HMPR).   Supported by Te Whatu Ora, we also engaged with various mainstream providers to gather this valuable information.

The report therefore presents data from meetings and hui held in 2024, with both mainstream and Hauora Māori providers. Feedback from these gatherings, along with insights from hapū and community events and other hui, was analysed to explore broader health service experiences.

Through thematic analysis, we identified key issues such as access, cost, and cultural barriers. Specific participant quotes enrich the report, highlighting the voices of whānau and guiding intentional actions to improve health services.
