Te ahu whakamua o te ruku tātari

I te Tīhema o 2017, ka whakaū te Taraipiunara ka ahu whakamua te Ruku Tātari Wai 2575 i runga i te tūāpapa wā me te kaupapa, ā, ka rangona ngā take hāngai ki te hauora ki ngā wāhanga e hāngai ana ki te whakaarotau:

• Ka ruku tātari te wāhanga tuatahi, i oti i te Māehe o 2019, ki ngā āhuatanga o te tautiaki matua
• E arotahi ana te wāhanga tuarua i ngā wāhanga whakaarotau e toru, e pā ana ki ngāi Māori me ngā hauātanga, te hauora ā-hinengaro (tae atu ki te whakamomori me te whakakino matawhaiaro), me ngā take e pā ana ki te waipiro, te tupeka, me te raukoti pūroi

Wāhanga tuatahi

Ko te ruku tātari wāhanga tuatahi te ruku tātari whāiti, heipū hoki ki te anga ā-ture, ā-kaupapahere hoki o te pūnaha tiaki hauora matua. Ko te mana whakahaere o te ruku tātari ko Kaiwhakawā Stephen Clark. I whakawhāiti aua whakahaerenga ā-ture ki te nohoanga mō ngā kerēme a ngā Māori Primary Health Organisations & Providers (Wai 1315) me te National Hauora Coalition (Wai 2687). I whakamanahia hoki tētahi āhuatanga whai wāhi o ētahi hunga e whai take ana ki te ruku tātari.

Priority inquiry

On 8 May 2024, following a submissions process, the Tribunal granted a priority inquiry into the disestablishment of Te Aka Whai Ora within the Wai 2575 inquiry. The scope of the priority inquiry was expanded to include the processes and steps taken by the Crown to disestablish Te Aka Whai Ora, as well as the Crown’s proposed alternative plans to address Maaori health outcomes following its disestablishment.
