Caveats

Saturday 4th February 2012

All of the data presented in these reports has been obtained from sources external to ESR and was collected primarily for purposes other than for this report. Each data set has its own structure and processes and therefore own data quality issues. There are therefore several general considerations with regard to the data presented in these reports.

Every attempt has been made to ensure that the information on this website is accurate, however, it remains the responsibility of the user to assess the accuracy of information extracted from this website.

Despite the limitations of the datasets, the collation of the data and the derivation of the various EHI’s still has many merits as its purpose is to examine general trends and relationships at a national level and through the use of consistent methodologies globally benchmark NZ internationally. It is not designed to be used as de facto epidemiological evidence.
