New Zealand health research stakeholders survey

embedding and funding health research as an essential component of our health system

The Transition Unit overseeing New Zealand's health reforms has agreed with NZHR that health research should be included in the design of the country's new health system. We now need to articulate both what this would look like specifically, and the impact on health outcomes that could result. We appreciate your assistance with this important piece of work - so thanks in advance for your help by participating in this survey. Chris Higgins, NZHR Chief Executive

Question Title

* 1. Please tell us what in your view would be the top three things that would be different if health research was embedded as an essential component of New Zealand's reformed health and disability system

Question Title

* 2. The following is a list of possible features of a health system in which health research is embedded as an essential component. Thinking broadly about New Zealand's health system ( i.e. what needs to happen for people to stay well and what needs to happen if they become unwell), tell us how important you think each of these features is.
