Āti Awa Toa Hauora Partnership Board Welcomes Opportunity To Work With Hauora Māori Advisory Committee

The Āti Awa Toa Hauora Partnership Board welcomes the
opportunity to work alongside the Hauora Māori Advisory
Committee to strengthen Māori health leadership and
outcomes.

This follows a weekend announcement by
Health Minister Simeon Brown on the Government’s plans to
amend the Pae Ora Act 2022.

“We support
efforts to bring greater clarity and coordination across the
system,” says Hikitia Ropata, Chair of the Āti Awa Toa
Hauora Partnership Board. “We see real value in building
strong relationships between national bodies and local,
whakapapa-based leadership.”

“As an
Iwi-Māori Partnership Board, we bring the korowai of our
iwi. Together we are grounded in our communities with lived
experience, cross-sector relationships and local solutions
that are essential to transforming the health system to
truly serve all people who live here – those who whakapapa
to us and those who call our rohe home.”

“We
remain committed to working collaboratively to raise the
voices of whānau and track how the health system is
performing for Māori in our
community.
