How to have your say
The NHC is seeking input from a wide range of individuals and organisations – including people with chronic conditions and those who work with them. People working in this area may be in organisations such as District Health Boards (DHBs), Primary Health Organisations (PHOs), Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) or consumer organisations, as well as from other sectors such as housing, transport or social services. If you are representing a collective view (eg, representing the views of an organisation or community), please make this clear in your submission.
Please also state if you have a chronic condition/s yourself, or if you are a health professional. If you would prefer to discuss your input, please contact us. All input will be treated in confidence.
Throughout the paper there are questions designed to help you think through your ideas, but please do not feel constrained by them. We welcome your input on any level. However, we would ask that you address the three bullet points above to identify gaps in our analysis and to assist development of a way forward.
The project is focused on people with chronic conditions rather than on specific conditions or diseases. We are not seeking submissions on ‘best practice’ for clinical treatment of particular conditions, but input on the major issues facing people with chronic conditions, and those who work with them.
The NHC acknowledges that on many issues there will not be consensus, but the more submissions it receives, the better able it will be to judge the strength and diversity of views on any particular issue. We therefore encourage you to participate in this consultation.
