This consultation is seeking feedback on the Ministry of Health’s proposed changes to the Primary Maternity Services Notice pursuant to Section 88 of the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 (the Notice).
The Ministry of Health is making these changes to increase the flexibility of community maternity services to better meet the varied needs of women and their whānau.
The Ministry is proposing both administrative and structural changes to the Notice.
This consultation survey is aimed at health professionals.
We have a separate survey for consumers of maternity services (women and whānau).
