NZ Cerebral Palsy Register Report

The New Zealand Cerebral Palsy Register (NZCPR) has produced its first report. The Report is a summary of information from people with CP living in Aotearoa New Zealand. It is a first step towards a better understanding of how many people in New Zealand live with CP and how we can better support positive health outcomes for them.
