Statistics on chronic pain in NZ

20 March 2021 at 14:48 (4 years ago)

I would like to request data from the Ministry of Health and/or ACC on chronic/persistent pain prevalence in NZ. e.g. number of people/proportion of the population living with chronic pain (plus Māori and non-Māori numbers), number of pain management services ACC deliver, cost of chronic pain conditions to the health system and/or ACC.

Opening this data would solve the problem of…

Informing research on pain management therapy

Hi there,
I have been looking through the current 2020/21 Annual Data Explorer, however cannot find the topic of chronic pain. Was it not included in latest data set?
Have also been attempting to find the data from the 2019/20 survey as recall that it provided data on the prevalence of chronic pain in New Zealand. Is this data readily available?
Thanks,
Evania
