Implement national strategies

Objective 9

Develop, implement and monitor national injury prevention strategies for priority areas

one Implement and build on existing national injury prevention strategies (either completed or near-completion) for priority areas (e.g. Road Safety Strategy 2010, Te Rito: Family Violence Prevention Strategy, New Zealand Suicide Prevention Strategy). (Refer to Delivering the Strategy for the six national injury prevention priority areas identified under the New Zealand Injury Prevention Strategy.)
two Develop, implement, and monitor action plans to support the national injury prevention strategies for priority areas.
three Identify and close strategy gaps by developing new national injury prevention strategies for priority areas where these do not already exist (e.g. drowning and near-drowning, falls prevention, workplace health and safety, suicide prevention across all ages).
four Ensure any new national strategies relating to priority areas have an appropriate focus on injury prevention (e.g.Crime Reduction Strategy).
five Review the national injury prevention priority areas periodically as part of the New Zealand Injury Prevention Strategy's formal review process.
