There was significant duplication across the four standards and amalgamating them into one means a wide range of health and disability providers and settings will now have a consistent standard for providing safe and quality of care.\nProviders of fertility services, primary maternity centres, hospices, overnight hospital inpatient services (public and private), age-related residential care, residential addiction, mental health, and disability services will be required to comply with the Ng\u0101 Paerewa Health and Disability Services Standard NZS 8134:2021. Ng\u0101 Paerewa is also fit for use by home and community support services and abortion service providers in New Zealand Aotearoa.\nNg\u0101 Paerewa\u00a0defines the updates to the quality and safety requirements for the provision of included services in New Zealand. A copy of the standard is available on the\u00a0Standards New Zealand website.\nHealthCERT provided a variety of workshops, education sessions, and printable resources to ensure the health and disability service providers, health professionals, designated auditing agencies, and the people and wh\u0101nau who use these services are well supported in preparation for Ng\u0101 Paerewa to come into effect.

People are empowered to make decisions about their own care and support in order to achieve their goals, with a stronger focus on outcomes for people receiving support.\nNg\u0101 Paerewa adopts a modular certification framework. This means that services are only audited against the sections, sub-sections and criteria relevant to those services. Each of the six sections is outcome focussed, which gives service providers flexibility in how they demonstrate they are achieving the requirements within the context of their service.\nEach sections\u2019 outcome statements have been updated to reflect the partnership between service providers and the people and wh\u0101nau who use their services - and the service provider\u2019s additional responsibilities under Te Tiriti to be responsive to the needs of M\u0101ori. To read more about how these were developed, see People statements.\nMapping analysis: Comparing the current standards to Ng\u0101 Paerewa", "source": "https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/certification-health-care-services/services-standard/resources-nga-paerewa-health-and-disability-services-standard"}

Services test unknown substances (which may be illicit drugs), interpret results, and provide harm reduction information to a person who provides a sample.\nDrug checking services aim to reduce risk and harm by helping people make informed decisions about drug use. It does not promote illicit drug use or claim that illicit drug use is safe.\nLegal framework for drug checking\nDrug checking is regulated under amendments to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975, Psychoactive Substances Act 2013, the Medicines Act 1981, and relevant regulations under those Acts. These amendments can be viewed on the\u00a0New Zealand Legislation website through the following links.\n\nMisuse of Drugs Act 1975\nMisuse of Drugs (Drug and Substance Checking Service Providers) Regulations 2022", "source": "https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/drug-checking"}

They were intended to allow drug checking to take place with legal certainty while a licensing scheme was developed.\u00a0Appointed and licensed providers are legally allowed to possess illicit drugs for drug checking purposes.\nIf an appointed provider applied for a licence within one month after the regulations came into force (5 May 2022), their appointment continues until the Director-General of Health or the Minister of Health makes a licensing decision on the applicant.\nIf there is a breach of any terms or condition of licence, the offender is liable for a fine of up to $5,000, and the licence may be cancelled.\nThe penalty for a person (or entity) undertaking drug checking without a licence is $20,000.\nDrug Checking Licensing Scheme\nThe Ministry of Health\u2019s Drug Checking Licensing Scheme regulates licenced service providers and is responsible for:\n\nlicensing new providers\nrenewing licences\nsuspending, and cancelling licences\nimposing, amending and revoking licence conditions\nmanaging reviews of\u00a0licensing decisions\nmanaging complaints\nmonitoring the compliance of drug checking service providers.", "source": "https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/drug-checking"}

This term may be shorter at the discretion of the Director-General of Health. To apply, download the Drug Checking licensing application form. Complete the application form and submit this with all supporting documentation to: [email\u00a0protected].\nThere are no application fees.\nApproved drug checking methods\nThe methods listed below are approved as suitable drug checking methods for use by providers. The Director-General will specify which technology and testing methods that each provider is approved to use in their licensing notification letter. New methods can only be used once written approval is received from the drug checking licensing team.\nDrug checking service providers are required to use a range of testing methodologies and equipment to carry out comprehensive, high-quality drug checking activities in line with best practice. When drug checking is provided, it is expected that services have access to equipment and testing methodologies from this approved methods list to ensure a comprehensive, quality service is delivered for people presenting drugs for testing. This includes access to current drug libraries associated with each specific spectrometer.\nReagent testing as a stand-alone service does not meet the intent of the legislation with regard to providing a high-quality drug checking service (with the exception of approved stand-alone methods stated in table 1). The use of reagent testing alone may increase a person\u2019s risk of serious harm. A reagent test may identify a single drug (eg, MDMA) when a substance also contains a drug of greater risk (eg, eutylone).", "source": "https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/drug-checking"}

The principal purpose of protecting the health and safety of the public is emphasised and the Act includes mechanisms to ensure that practitioners are competent and fit to practise their professions for the duration of their professional lives.\nThe Act was passed by Parliament on 11 September 2003 and received the Royal assent on 18 September 2003. The Act came fully into force on 18 September 2004. In doing so, the Act repealed 11 occupational statutes governing 13 professions.\nNot all health professions are regulated under the Act. Not being regulated under the Act does not imply that a profession lacks professional standards. Some are not regulated because they pose little risk of harm to the public; some are not regulated because they work under the supervision of a regulated profession; some are regulated in other ways. For example, they may be regulated through their employer or self-regulated by their profession.", "source": "https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/health-practitioners-competence-assurance-act"}

These products are used by New Zealanders in their daily lives, and in all parts of the health system.\nWhile therapeutic products have many benefits there are risks if they are used inappropriately or not for their intended purpose. Ensuring the benefits of therapeutic products outweigh possible harm to consumers is important and why New Zealand needs a regulatory regime for all therapeutic products.\nThe current way New Zealand regulates therapeutic products does not always meet the needs of consumers, patients, manufacturers or exporters. The Ministry has been leading work on a new Therapeutic Products Bill to address these issues.\nTherapeutic Products Bill\nThe Therapeutic Products Bill\u00a0was introduced to Parliament on 30 November 2022 and has been referred to the Health Select Committee. Submissions on the Bill can be made via the New Zealand\u00a0Parliament website. Submissions on the Bill close 11.59pm, Sunday 5 March 2023\nThe Bill has been more than a decade in the making. It is significant legislation which will update New Zealand\u2019s regulatory regime (replacing the Medicines Act 1981 and Dietary Supplements Regulations 1985) to ensure it is fit for the future, and contributes to a strong, effective health and disability system.\nThe\u00a0Bill takes on board sector feedback to consultation undertaken in recent years (e.g., the previous Natural Health and Supplementary Products Bill), the health and disability system reforms, new health technology changes and lessons from COVID-19.\nThe aims of the Bill\n\nThe purpose of the Bill is to protect, promote, and improve the health of all New Zealanders by providing for the:\n\t\nacceptable safety, quality, and efficacy of medicines\nacceptable safety, quality, and performance of medical devices\nacceptable safety and quality of natural health products, and that any health benefit claims are supported by scientific or traditional evidence", "source": "https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/therapeutic-products-regulatory-regime"}

This will include medicines from general sale products like paracetamol to gene, cell and tissue therapies, and medical devices from tongue depressors to implantable pacemakers.\nBoth medical devices and gene, cell and tissue therapies are currently not fully regulated in New Zealand so the Bill seeks to address this. The regulation of clinical trials will also be made more robust.\u00a0\u00a0\nThe Bill provides a risk-proportionate approach. Pre-market controls will provide assurances that products are made to the proper standards, while in-market and post-market controls will enable a timely response if safety issues arise.\u00a0\nThe regime will deliver a regulator that is independent, transparent, accountable, able to sustain regulatory capability and capacity, and is responsive and flexible.\nHaving flexible, risk-proportionate approval systems will also ensure New Zealand can access necessary life-saving medicines and respond to health emergencies, for example pandemics or natural disasters requiring a health response.\u00a0\nThe new regime will align with international best practice and it will be future-proofed so that new and emerging health technologies can be regulated appropriately.", "source": "https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/therapeutic-products-regulatory-regime"}
{"id": "672d6e9f45b0-6", "text": "Natural health products\nIn 2021, Cabinet decided to regulate natural health products under the Therapeutic Products Bill.\u00a0\nThe Bill is not intended to stop people buying natural health products, unless there is robust scientific evidence to justify restricting it (e.g., certain parts of a plant may be toxic while other parts are fine, or the concentration of a product is too risky at a certain level to be available for general sale).\nIn developing the new regime, Manat\u016b Hauora has drawn on previous work on natural health products, which included several rounds of consultation and significant input from stakeholders. Stakeholder hui were also held in November 2022 with representatives from key organisations.\nContrary to some recent reports on social media, there is no list of prohibited ingredients in the current Bill, and no proposal to ban common herbs and spices used in cooking. The impact of the Bill on any particular natural health product/ingredient would be determined via secondary legislation, following consultation with stakeholders. See Q&A below for more information.\nAbout natural health products\nNatural health products support health and wellness, and\u00a0are made from natural ingredients, or synthetic equivalents such as synthetic vitamins.\u00a0\nThis includes herbal remedies (in the form of capsules, tonics, and skin creams), vitamin and mineral supplements, traditional M\u0101ori remedies, traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathic remedies, and some remedies based on animal products, such as deer velvet and fish oil capsules.\nSupplemented foods, such as bread or juice fortified with vitamins and minerals, are generally not considered natural health products. They are regulated by the Ministry for Primary Industries.\u00a0Read more on the regulation of supplemented foods.\nThe need to regulate natural health products", "source": "https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/therapeutic-products-regulatory-regime"}

This reflects that, while there are many similarities between product types, there are also distinct differences.\nHaving a single Bill will help clarify the interface with other legislation. Currently natural health products must comply with the relevant parts of the Food Act 2014, particularly the Dietary Supplements Regulations 1985; the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, particularly the Cosmetic Group Standard 2017; the Medicines Act 1981; and/or the Animal Products Act 1999.\u00a0Consumer laws also apply (e.g. the Fair Trading Act 1986 and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993).\nThe Bill includes:\n\na risk proportionate approach to the manufacture of natural health products\nrequirements that support exports, taking relevant international standards and practice into account, and meeting New Zealand\u2019s international obligations\na definition for natural health products that differentiates them from food and medicines\nthe ability to make health benefit claims that can be supported by scientific evidence, or evidence of traditional use\nlabelling to support consumers to make informed choices about their own health and wellbeing\nenforcement provisions that include the recall of products where necessary.\n\nCommon questions on the Therapeutic Products Bill\nA number of people and organisations have contacted the Ministry with questions about the Bill, in particular the proposal to regulate natural health products.\nQuestions cover:", "source": "https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/therapeutic-products-regulatory-regime"}

There is no particular format that businesses must use for their records \u2013 it will depend on each business\u2019s management system. The Act requires records to be kept for 3 years and requires them to be provided to an enforcement officer upon request by written notice. The enforcement officer will stipulate in the notice whether the records should be provided in paper or electronic format, and how they should be delivered. Only existing records in their existing format will need to be provided.\nThe Act does not specify exactly what records must be kept but our expectation is that records would include:\nFor manufacturers, importers, exporters, distributors and retailers", "source": "https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/smoked-tobacco-products"}

Reviewing the standards regularly is \nimportant to ensure they reflect the  health and disability  services being provided today \nand continue to work for health practitioners, service providers as well as those using \nthe services and their wh\u0101nau.  \n \nIn 2017, Manat\u016b Hauora - The Ministry  of Health  (the Ministry)  began a significant \nreview and consultation process with the health and disability sector, including health \npractitioners, service providers, advocacy and support groups, iwi and the individuals \nand wh\u0101nau who use our health and disability services.  \n The review gave the healt h and disability sector the chance to ensure the standards are \nflexible enough to reflect current accepted best practice and incorporate changes to \nthe way they deliver high- quality care and support.  \n \nFor more information about the review process, see the Standards Review (20 19\u2013\n2021) webpage on the Ministry website . \nOther  standards inclu ded in the \nreview  \nThe home and community  support  sector ha s some crossover with the health and \ndisability sector . For this reason, the Home and Community Support Sector Standard \n(NZS 8158:2012)  was considered as part of this review , with the support of the sector . \n \nFollowing the passing of the Abortion Legislation Act 2020,  the role of regulating \nabortion services transferred to the Ministry. Thus, the Ministry\u2019s Interim Standards for \nAbortion Servi ces in New Zealand were also included in the review.", "source": "/content/drive/MyDrive/docs/paerewa mapping.pdf"}
