COVID-19 Patient Experience Survey

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us and has changed the way health care in New Zealand is delivered.

The Health Quality & Safety Commission works with clinicians, providers and consumers to improve health and disability support services. Ipsos has been commissioned by the Commission to conduct a survey to explore patient experience of care during COVID-19.
