Codex research — bundled source and subsequent primary publication chronology
Evidence boundary: Bundled PDF cover and official indexed publisher metadata establish January 2024. Direct Health NZ browser retrieval was restricted. Regional occupancy figures cite the NZACA 2023 survey; original response sample and bed denominator were not independently established in this capture. Preserve those limits and reference periods.
Short Answer
January 2024 strategic assessment of ARC and HCSS funding and service models. The retained bundled filename begins 2026, but the source is dated 2024.
Why it matters
Use as historical review evidence, retaining its survey periods and model assumptions. Compare with later review work and the August 2026 advisory report rather than treating this assessment as a 2026 publication.
Key Points
- •PDF cover date: 16 January 2024; Health NZ publisher issue date: 31 January 2024.
- •Covers aged residential care and home and community support services.
- •Physical PDF pages 35–36 use NZACA 2023 survey evidence, including regional 2022/23 occupancy; this is not a current national staffed-bed census.
- •August 2026 Ministerial Advisory Group report is separately available as doc-1623.
- •Legacy local filename starts 2026; it is retained to preserve the bundled PDF link, not as the source publication date.
