Aims and valuesAimsThe PHA’s aims are to:
ValuesThese are the principles and standards by which the PHA will operate. The PHA will also seek to have these values reflected in the actions of others to achieve our vision of health equity. Tautoko – Respect must be shown for the rights of all people. Manaakitanga – Equity of outcomes is to be achieved by equal treatment of people in the same situation (with unequal treatment of people who are in unequal situations). Kotahitanga – Collective action and solidarity is needed at all levels of society (national and local government, iwi, hapu, local communities, whānau, families, and individuals) for collective good. Mātauranga – Decisions should be made on the best available evidence; when that evidence is limited the precautionary principle should apply and evidence should be progressively gathered. Matatika – Integrity, honesty, openness, transparency. Our commitment to Te Tiriti o WaitangiThe PHA recognises Te Tiriti o Waitangi as Aotearoa New Zealand’s founding document, defining respectful relationships between tangata whenua and tangata tiriti. The PHA is committed to ensuring that Te Tiriti values of respect, partnership, equality, and full participation infuse all our policies, actions and services. This means that our governance and decision-making must reflect Te Tiriti values - the specific needs of Māori, and kaupapa Māori solutions must be factored into all decision making about public health. | Pānui | News
