Quote:The report┬á- which was accepted by the Government - supported Te Whatu OraÔÇÖs approach that ÔÇ£once high clinical priority cases have been addressed, priority must be given to excessively long-waiting patients, with emphasis on the longest waiting M─üori and Pacific patients.ÔÇØ
The taskforce found data that showed a disproportionate number of M─üori and Pacific patients ÔÇ£waiting excessively longÔÇØ for imaging scans (used to check for serious conditions including cancer) in some regions.
Another example: M─üori and Pacific children suffered the most because current capacity in the paediatric oral health service canÔÇÖt match demand, including for dentistry requiring sedation or general anaesthetic.
ÔÇ£There are numerous examples of inequities in many planned care services,ÔÇØ the taskforce concluded. ÔÇ£Initiatives must be put in place to resolve this.ÔÇØ
