Health and Disability Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) and the Ministry of Health are working together to build a stronger relationship.

Membership of the NGO Health & Disability Network is free and open to any non-profit New Zealand health or disability provider that receives Vote Health funding (ie, funding from the Ministry of Health and/or a DHB). Information from the Ministry is shared through the Network as part of the commitment to the Framework for Relations between the Ministry of Health and Health/Disability Non-Government Organisations, which has a particular focus on communication, capability/capacity building and consultation.
