Abstract
This report reviews a range of routinely collected hospital admission, mortality and survey data, with a view to identifying the number of Pacific children and young people with chronic conditions and disabilities accessing healthcare services in New Zealand.
This report is based on an Indicator Framework developed during the NZ Child and Youth Epidemiology Service’s (NZCYES) first three years of District Health Board (DHB) reporting. Each of the indicators in this report has been assigned to one of four main sections:
• Conditions Detectable by Antenatal and Neonatal Screening
• Other Disabilities
• Other Chronic Medical Conditions
• Obesity, Nutrition and Physical Activity
