In 2019 we consulted with whānau hauā (disabled people and their whānau), Waikato DHB staff, Disability providers, and the community.  We asked how we could make Waikato DHB health services more responsive to whānau hauā.  We listened, and now have a draft Waikato DHB Draft Disability Responsiveness Plan that sets out how Waikato DHB services will respond more effectively to whānau hauā and improve their health and wellbeing in the Waikato DHB  district. 

While drafting this plan we consulted with Te Rōpū Tiaki Hunga Hauā and also got advice from Waikato Tainui that the term Whānau Hauā was the appropriate terms to use for disabled people in Waikato.  This term has been deliberately used throughout this plan to emphasise that whānau hauā are driven by a collective effort and the cultural obligations and responsibilities that whānau members have to each other and the whānau as a whole, while they strive to achieve balance within an environment of change and institutional barriers.
