LEGISLATIVE FUNCTIONS
Pae Ora Act and accountability
Section 29 of the Pae Ora Act sets out the purpose of IMPBs, which is to represent local Māori perspectives on:
- the needs and aspirations of Māori in relation to hauora Māori outcomes;
- how the health sector is performing in relation to those needs and aspirations; and
- the design and delivery of services and public health interventions within localities.
Section 30 of the Pae Ora Act sets out that an IMPB has the following functions:
- engage with whānau, hapū and iwi about local health needs, and communicate the results and insights from that engagement to Health New Zealand and Manatū Hauora;
- evaluate the current state of hauora Māori in the relevant locality for the purpose of determining priorities for improving hauora Māori;
- work with Health New Zealand in agreeing to locality plans;
- monitor the performance of the health sector in a relevant locality.
