Research has shown that tamariki and rangatahi in care are more likely than others to have poor long-term health outcomes. The National Care Standards (NCS) Regulations came into effect in 2019 and set out the minimum standards required when a child comes into care, including that health and dental needs are identified through annual checks. These regulations apply to Oranga Tamariki, and any other agency with custody and care responsibilities.
This review takes a closer look at areas where compliance with the NCS Regulations for health needs had been previously reported as low (such as enrolment with a GP) or where there were significant gaps in data (annual health and dental checks) to understand what might be happening.
Our review finds that these regulations have not been implemented well. (From the website). Record #8516
