A new study has found that health inequities between Māori and non-Māori adults cost more than $860 million a year.
The study, which was hosted by the University of Auckland, found the cost was disproportionately borne by Indigenous people and society.
The study used data taken from government agencies for people aged over 15 between 2003 and 2014 including hospitalisations, outpatient and primary care consultations, accident claims and laboratory and pharmaceutical usage.
