Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora is undertaking a review of how oral health services are delivered to children and young people aged 0–17 years. This is the first major review of these services in many years. The Oral Health Services Review is focused on what can be implemented within the current funding and policy setting for publicly funded oral health services and specifically focuses on the following two key areas: Recommendations for models of care for delivery of oral health services to 0–17-year-olds Recommendations for how to commission the models of care

Learning outcomes

Recommendations for models of care for delivery of oral health services to 0–17-year-olds Recommendations for how to commission the models of care (how to contract, fund and monitor services). Health New Zealand is pleased to invite Sapere, the external supplier, who is working with us and leading the analytical and system-design components of the Oral Health Services Review to provide you with a progress update. The session will cover a summary of the work to date, the functioning of the technical working group, and a discussion of how options might be assessed moving forward.
