In her statement, the Prime Minister reaffirmed our commitment to build on previous work by the disabled community and roll out the Enabling Good Lives approach across the country. This will be a key role of the new ministry and will transform disability support services for over 43,000 disabled people, their families, whānau, and communities. We've learnt from the Enabling Good Lives demonstrations happening across the country that this approach creates more meaningful engagement, gives more voice, choice, control, and flexibility, and is reaching people who hadn't accessed disability support services before. It also ensures that support is reaching the most vulnerable parts of our disabled community. I've been told that the MidCentral prototype has seen a 60 percent increase in tangata whaikaha Māori and Pacific disabled people connecting with the system.
