Developed by the Health Quality & Safety Commission, the survey results will help DHBs make improvements in care and give the public valuable insights into the performance of their local health services.
The survey responses are anonymous, unless patients choose to supply contact details.
Northland DHB is sending the survey to patients once every three months.

DHBs undertook the first of these surveys between August 26 and September 19, 2014, with over 1500 responses, about a quarter of patients contacted.
