Wheturangi Walsh-Tapiata, mātaiwhetū of Te Oranganui in Whanganui, says hauora Māori providers are waiting to see whether the changes will deliver the benefits that were being advanced under Te Aka Whai Ora.
“We’re all holding tight to each other as a group of providers, attempting to support each other, read the scene and provide excellent practice so that, where possible, these changes do not impact on our whānau and we are still able to walk alongside them to achieve their whānau ora goals.”
There were immediate benefits for Māori health providers with the advent of Te Aka Whai Ora, she said.
