We want to know how you are feeling about the changes to the health system. This will help us work together to keep doing what is working, to stop things that are not working and start things that haven’t been done yet.

You can tell us anything about your experiences of the changes to the health system but some things you might want to tell us are:

  • What’s different in the health system? What are you seeing, hearing, and feeling?
  • What are the biggest wins and shifts? Where have they occurred?
  • What hasn’t changed but should have? Why is that? What needs to be different?

When you share your thoughts or ideas, you can talk about yourself, your whānau or your community.

You can also look through other ideas and comment and support them.
