This article from the same source might explain it to you better CT

Quote:The report - which was accepted by the Government - supported Te Whatu Ora’s approach that “once high clinical priority cases have been addressed, priority must be given to excessively long-waiting patients, with emphasis on the longest waiting Māori and Pacific patients.”
The taskforce found data that showed a disproportionate number of Māori and Pacific patients “waiting excessively long” for imaging scans (used to check for serious conditions including cancer) in some regions.
Another example: Māori and Pacific children suffered the most because current capacity in the paediatric oral health service can’t match demand, including for dentistry requiring sedation or general anaesthetic.

“There are numerous examples of inequities in many planned care services,” the taskforce concluded. “Initiatives must be put in place to resolve this.”

This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
