A new development in injury information: the injury information manager

The Government has recently established an injury information manager function and appointed Statistics New Zealand to carry out the role to facilitate user access to injury-related information and data. To do this, the information manager has been given functions to collect data, produce and disseminate statistical information, establish and maintain data standards and review future information requirements. The functions are described in part 8 of the Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2001.
