Abstract
Improving Tokelau’s clinical health services and the Tokelau Patient Referrals Scheme (TPRS) patient referral scheme is the key purpose of this independent review. The objectives were to:
1. Review the relevance and effectiveness of clinical health services on Tokelau.
2. Review the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the Tokelau patient referral scheme (TPRS).
3. Determine the funding required to deliver adequate levels of health service, and the potential budget impacts of the growing incidence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
4. Identify the key changes needed to deliver and sustain improved results from health services delivered on Tokelau, and through its patient referral scheme.
Covering the period July 2014 to June 2018, the review focused on services in Tokelau and services received by Tokelau’s referred patients in Tokelau, Apia and New Zealand.
