1367 (2026). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Health: What support, if any, is the Government providing for transdisciplinary teams that work across primary care, public health, and social services, rather than within institutional boundaries?

Hon Simeon Brown: I refer the Member to the Health New Zealand website which outlines funding available for workforce development for primary and community care: https://www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/for-health-professionals/health-workforce-development/health-workforce-initiatives/workforce-development-programme-for-primary-and-community-care.
