Ageing Well National Science Challenge — Ka Mua Ka Muri: A decade of ageing well in Aotearoa and beyond

Physical p. 3 explicitly says Published April 2024; May 2024 PDF upload/modification clues and the [13 May publisher launch story](https://www.ageingwellchallenge.co.nz/ka-mua-ka-muri/) are separate dates. The preserved 116-page file matched the current publisher download on 10 October 2026. For present clinical information use [Health NZ dementia guidance](https://www.healthnz.govt.nz/health-topics/conditions-treatments/brain-and-nerves/dementia); the book’s research tools and reported uptake do not establish current nationwide availability.

Historical accessible research retrospective, primarily Phase Two 2019–2024, published April 2024. May upload/modification and launch-story dates are distinct from the printed publication month. Project descriptions, reported uptake and future intentions are not a current service inventory, clinical protocol or independently verified programme-wide outcomes. Caregiver observations arise from recipient assessments, not all carers; no national present-day distress rate is inferred. Raw extraction repeats some off-layout footer numbers, so physical page references are used. Original PDF, filename, hash and June 2026 capture/access are preserved; current publisher download matched on 10 October 2026.

Alzheimers NZ — 16 August 2024 submission to the aged-care neurological cognitive disorders inquiry

The [publisher’s publications list](https://alzheimers.org.nz/explore/advocacy/publications/) identifies the August 2024 submission. The [Health Committee’s later release](https://www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/committees-press-releases/health-committee-reports-findings-of-aged-care-inquiry-to-the-house/) records its final report on 20 November 2025; that report is distinct from this submission. Dementia NZ published its [successor 2026–2031 sector plan article](https://dementia.nz/dementia-mate-wareware-action-plan-2026-2031/) on 24 September 2025. The submission’s blanket no-treatment statement... Metadata preview; full fields are available below.

Historical stakeholder submission and joint-business-case advocacy, not the final committee report or government approval. Original document date is 16 August 2024; receipt and first public-release day were not independently established. Prevalence, unmet need, contracts and cost figures reflect cited historical estimates and assumptions. The private/pilot allowance’s denominator is unclear. Broad no-action rhetoric is qualified by the submission’s own Budget 2022 pilot acknowledgement and the separate official plan-endorsement source. Its no-treatment statement is not current clinical guidance; current primary health sources discuss treatment and support. Later committee recommendations and a successor sector plan do not prove delivery. Original PDF, hash, filename and June capture/access are preserved; reviewed 10 October 2026.

HDC-hosted author’s desktop review for the Aged Care Commissioner report (April 2024 final version)

The [HDC publisher page](https://www.hdc.org.nz/our-work/aged-care-commissioner/amplifying-the-voices-of-older-people-in-aotearoa-new-zealand/), dated 7 March 2024 for the main report, also links this separate April 2024 desktop review. Its cover spells the author Jane Ferriera, while Author metadata spells Jane Ferreira; both clues are preserved. For present legal rights use the [HDC Code](https://www.hdc.org.nz/your-rights/about-the-code/code-of-health-and-disability-services-consumers-rights/), rather than treating this historical author’s review as legislation or an investigation decision....

Author-disclaimed supporting review, not an HDC-endorsed position, the Commissioner’s main report, an investigation finding or current legislation. Cover spelling Jane Ferriera differs from Jane Ferreira in Author metadata. April 2024 identifies final-version evidence; exact first publication day is unknown. Local research targets the three years before March 2023, supplemented with international, grey and older contextual sources; limited discovery does not prove no improvement projects existed. Historical agency/funding descriptions and anticipated 2023 MANA rollout are not a current legal or service directory, and nationwide availability was not independently verified. Original PDF, hash, filename and June capture/access are preserved; the current publisher file matched on 10 October 2026.
