Agreed next steps and actions
from the 2017 Roundtable
1 A multi sectoral National Clinical Network will be
established through the Paediatric Society of New
Zealand and funded by the Ministry of Health.
The clinical reference group for the network will
consist of twelve members who will be selected
based on clinical and advisory experience in
intersex health services. At least half of the group
will be required to have medical experience,
with established expertise in the management of
intersex children and youth. The clinical reference
group will have a multi-disciplinary approach to
intersex health service delivery aiming to broadly
represent the geographic regions of New Zealand.
The network will:
• Promote nationally coordinated intersex health
services
• Develop an infrastructure that supports quality
services, safety, equity of health service provision,
and best value of resources
• Develop a system for the monitoring and
auditing of services to inform continuous
quality improvement to include best practice
recommendations
• Identify and liaise with national and international
bodies with relevance to intersex services
• Establish a plan that best supports a workforce
education and development
programme
• Support and address some of the intersex
recommendations to Government from the
United Nations Committee on the Rights of the
Child (2016)
2 All Roundtable participants commit to working
towards the objectives of the Roundtable in their
fields of expertise and influence
