This report provides a snapshot of the socioeconomic profile of Maori in the Taranaki region. A major objective of this report was to identify regional data that would be useful to the TDHB in formulating their Maori health strategy.

BERL's view ist that there are a number of social aspects that need to be addressed.  However, many of these outcomes can improve quite quickly if relatively small, positive and consistent interventions are applied to assist present and future cohorts of children and young people.
