Equity of colonoscopy provision and quality in Māori and New Zealand Europeans: a comparative retrospective study.

This study found inequities in access to colonoscopy services for Māori compared to NZ European patients. Among those that did receive colonoscopy, there were no differences in colonoscopy quality after age stratification. Improving equity will require the addition of colonoscopy provision rates to other mandatory KPIs and reporting these by ethnicity in all endoscopy units.
