Healthcare

New Zealand Blood Service (NZBS) was established in 1998 under the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and is an appointed entity pursuant to section 63 of the Human Tissue Act 2008 being primarily responsible for the performance of functions in relation to blood and controlled human substances in New Zealand.

NZBS is a Crown Entity under the Crown Entities Act 2004. Pursuant to section 7 of the Crown Entities Act 2004, NZBS is required to give effect to Government policy when directed by the responsible Minister, the Minister of Health. NZBS is also classified a Public Benefit Entity as its primary objective is to support the New Zealand healthcare community through managing the collection, processing and supply of blood, controlled human substances and related services. Safety is the cornerstone of everything NZBS does and this is reflected in the quality of blood, blood products, tissues and services available to patients in New Zealand. NZBS is a high performing and strong organisation with enviable blood and transfusion medicine expertise. Our responsibilities have expanded greatly since our formation and go beyond blood and blood products into tissues and cellular therapies, therapeutic services and organ donation. This inventory is also intended to be used to provide some of the information required for Toitū carbonreduce reporting.
