Abstract
Access to accurate, up to date information in the area of child and youth health is important for the successful development and delivery of targeted services to our diverse communities in New Zealand in order to improve the health outcomes of our children and young people. The New Zealand Child & Youth Epidemiology Service (NZCYES) is commissioned to write a number of reports reflecting the status and determinants of health of New Zealand’s children and young people for District Health Boards (DHBs) and the Ministry of Health (MOH).
The information these reports contain is of relevance to a plethora of health care services and workers in the child health space. As a key stakeholder in the work of NZCYES and contract holder for national reports, the Paediatric Society and it’s membership need timely and easy access this information.
