N2  - This article was written in response to a call in 1997 for submissions on a Ministry of Health discussion document regarding the guidelines for health providers to develop protocols to identify family violence and provide appropriate intervention. The submission comments on various sections of the guidelines and includes discussion on existing protocols, evaluation, training issues, responsive services, support and safety issues for victims, confidentiality, safety of health professionals, intersectoral issues, access to services, cultural aspects, definition issues of family violence, prevalence and incidence of male partner violence, and institutional victimisation or violence. The author suggests that health promotion strategies should address the issue of masculine ideologies that support male dominance. A further suggestion is made for the Ministry of Health to support any actions that have the goal of eliminating all forms of violence in the home
