Yes, I remember when that bit of marketing was announced after the outcry about the dropping of targets altogether.
Two years ago.
No "new measures" since then. Two years. Nothing.
Quote:
While work is underway to develop these new measures DHBs will continue to report to the Ministry against the current set of health targets, as well as against a previously established suite of wider measures.
During this time we will only provide the raw data. We will not develop separate reports or infographics or advertise this information in newspapers.

Summary: since Labour scrapped health targets, the DHBs have to
report against the old National Govt targets, but -- get this -- the Ministry doesn't
measure the DHBs' performance against those targets. The DHBs just have to report their numbers. The Minister of Health doesn't read them, and the DHBs don't face any sanctions if their numbers don't come anywhere near the old National Govt targets.
I like that bit about "we won't break down our numbers into reports that the public can read and we won't publish those reports that we're not making anywhere". #mosttransparentgovermentever
Reality: Labour has abolished health targets, and the country is worse-off because of it.
