Submissions

Each year the Auckland Women's Health Council makes written submissions and attends consultation meetings on a variety of health issues that affect the health of women and patient rights. The Council also writes many letters to health authorities and the Minister of Health on various matters. It is worth noting that the current political environment is not conducive to meaningful consultation and there are often unrealistic time-frames given for producing submissions. Written submissions made by the Council include:
