About 14,000 homes throughout the country are to be surveyed on health matters over the next year.
The Ministry of Health says the survey begins in Auckland, Northland and Waikato this week and will be rolled out to the rest of the country in May.
It says it'll cover a range of topics, with the first part focussing on access to family doctors and after-hours services, including costs.
One adult and one children from each selected household will be invited to be interviewed.
The ministry says it'll be flexible with interviews in Christchurch so that people aren't placed under extra stress.
