Evidence of health disparities between Māori and non-Māori are recorded in New Zealand’s colonial history, Ministry of Health (2010a:1). Such differences suggest complex components that are associated with socio-economic and lifestyle factors, availability of health care and discrimination. Improving access to health services in New Zealand is critical to addressing health disparities and according to Robson B, Harris R. (Eds) (2007) their evidence suggests that Māori are less likely to access health services than non-Māori. A number of other barriers have been identified for Māori not seeking healthcare services, and the majority of these were related to the health system not dealing appropriately with cultural issues. Furthermore, Māori men score worst of all in New Zealand groups on a number of health indices and have some of the poorest health records in the world in some area's aspects of health, disease and mortality, Malcolm, L. (1996, 109: 356-358). Although there are many health-related conditions for Māori that still require further investigation, this area of research will focus on Gout.
