We are reviewing the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights (the Code) and the Health and Disability Commissioner Act 1994 (the Act).
The Health and Disability Commissioner is required to conduct regular reviews of the Act and Code and make recommendations to the Minister of Health.
These reviews are an opportunity to ensure that the Act and Code continue to be effective in protecting and promoting the rights of all people who use health and disability services.
Currently we are scoping the next review of the Act and Code, and plan to consult publicly in early 2024.
We will update this page as we progress this work. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please email us at review@hdc.org.nz.
