Appendix 4: Our recent reports relevant to the health sector
Since we published our previous health sector report in May 2014, we have published several reports on or including matters relevant to the health sector.
We published three reports relating to health, three articles reporting entities' progress on recommendations included in previous reports, and an inquiry report. We also included commentary on health sector issues in the Auditor-General's reflections reports on our recent yearly themes, Service delivery (2013/14) and Governance and accountability (2014/15), and in our report on the timeliness of public sector reporting.
All of these reports are available on our website, www.oag.govt.nz:
- Collecting and using information about suicide (2016)
- Home-based support services for older people: Follow-up audit (2016)
- District health boards' response to asset management requirements since 2009 (2016)

Although the Accident Compensation Corporation is not usually considered to be part of the health sector, we include the last two reports listed because the topics relate to clients with health issues.
