Right to Health ICESCR Arts: 2 | 12 LOIPR Paras: 3 | 8 SDGs: 3 | 10 | 13 Disparity in health outcomes 21. The State has introduced a range of targeted health initiatives to improve health outcomes for Māori and Pasifika people, as set out in its report.12 These initiatives resulted in some progress. The Commission considers that a more co-ordinated effort aligned with the SDG targets,13 will be required to address the wide disparities that continue to exist, not only for Māori and Pasifika but for other socioeconomically disadvantaged or vulnerable population groups including people living in the most socially deprived deciles, people parenting children alone, and disabled people. 22. Māori have a significantly lower life expectancy,14 higher rates of health conditions and chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and asthma,15 high rates of disability16 and are more likely to have unmet health needs as a result of socio-economic barriers arising through cost and access to transport and childcare.17 23. Furthermore, Māori children and young people are over-represented in negative health outcomes.18 This correlates with a higher rate of unmet health needs, which are also indicative of the socio-economic barriers many Māori whanau face. Māori children are 1.4 times more likely not to have accessed primary health when they needed it than non-Māori children.19 Māori children are also more likely to be exposed to the risk factors linked to poor health, social, educational and developmental outcomes.20 9
