Associate Health Minister Tariana Turia expects a positive response to a new Maori health innovation fund.
Te Ao Auahatanga Hauora Maori fund will put $20 million over four years into projects which identify, grow, and share new ways of delivering healthcare.
Though it is not a lot of money, Mrs Turia says it gives Maori providers the chance they have been asking for to do things differently.
Mrs Turia told Waatea News the fund will complement the Government's efforts to move whanau ora, seeing Maori health delivery in terms of the total wellbeing and development of families.
