Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:This paper outlines the New Zealand experience in using health goals and examines its strengths and weaknesses from an 'insiders's' perspective. METHOD:This paper reports on a review of the New Zealand health goals framework conducted in 1996-97. The review centred on a discussion paper, written submissions on it, and consultation meetings with the public, the public health sector and relevant government agencies. RESULTS:It is argued that the framework usefully shaped public health activity in New Zealand and should be retained with a focus on strengthening public health action. Health goals have been developed in New Zealand at a time of considerable change in the health sector. Although this change has been disruptive, it has also provided benefits such as the emergence of new providers. The strengths of the New Zealand framework have included: its inclusiveness, the consultation that occurred in developing it, and the monitoring and reporting system. Ongoing challenges, such as reorienting the health sector and developing a formal intersectoral strategy, are also identified. CONCLUSION:The paper concludes that the current health goals framework has the potential to frame future public health action in New Zealand, but that the increasing mainstreaming of the public health function poses some risk. IMPLICATIONS:The insight provided by the New Zealand case on the implementation of a health goals framework may assist public health planners in other jurisdictions.
