2011 General Election Pack
The PHA has a government contract to encourage and facilitate informed debate on effective public health approaches.
However, we are also enabled to comment independently using funds we receive separately from that contract. Our advocacy to do with the General Election is funded by contributions from members and through independent fundraising. The PHA is grateful for members’ commitment and support!
Election documents
Here are links to three electronic documents to support you election actions:
- Seven key strategies and one underlying theme, plus information about the PHA and the election
The information we're sharing is to help you, your friends and your colleagues promote the importance of public health during the lead up to the General Election on 26 November 2011. Further notes on the PHA and why we are doing this are attached at the end.
- Responses from political parties to the PHA's questions
The PHA wrote to the major New Zealand political parties asking what they were going to do to apply these strategies to address health inequities. And, because we are New Zealand, we added an issue crucial to health improvement and fairness here: Māori health. Responses received from The Greens, Labour, ACT and the Māori Party are included in this document unedited. No responses were received from National, United Future or the Mana Party.
- Fact and Action sheets on health inequalities
These were prepared by the New Zealand Medical Association and University of Otago, and are endorsed by the PHA and six other leading health organisations.
