Draft Waikato DHB Disability responsiveness plan

Other ways to feedback

If you can’t make it to a hui near you, here are a number of others ways to provide your feedback and have your say:

• Online – complete a survey;
• Email – send us an email to support@waikatodhb.health.nz, ensure the words “Disability Responsiveness Plan” are in the subject line; and
• By post – Waikato District Health Board, Strategy, Funding and Public Health – Health System Plan, Level 9 KPMG Building, Private Bag 3200, Waikato Mail Centre, Hamilton 3240

What did people say during the workshops and wananga events held in January?

Overall, the feedback translated into six goals:

1. Be whānau hāua centred – listen to and value, our voice and experience;
2. Give us the information we need in a way we can understand and access;
3. Barriers to accessing care are eliminated;
4. Help us to achieve our full health and wellbeing potential;
5. We are treated with respect and empathy by staff who are knowledgeable about disability; and
6. We are active partners in improving quality, ensuring accountability and monitoring services

There are a number of actions under these goals

We will focus the work of the DHB in these six areas to address over the next 2 years

If you want more information please contact the team: support@waikatodhb.health.nz, ensure the words “Disability Responsiveness Plan” is in the Subject line.
