The initial set of 40 questions has been cognitively tested by patients from four district health boards (DHBs) to validate them for New Zealand use, and revised down to 20 questions.
The latest version of the survey is available to download below. This survey has a set of optional questions at the end. These are questions that have tested well with patients but will not be used in the core survey.
These questions along with the full Picker Institute 250 question set purchased by the Commission will be available to all DHBs to incorporate in their local surveys.
