2749 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has occurred in the latest quarter towards the initiative to review service design and delivery to ensure it is based on Ka Pū te Ruha, ka Hao te Rangatahi, as included on page 20 of 'Getting to Smokefree 2025', as at 27 January 2025?
Hon Casey Costello: I am advised that Ka Pū te Ruha, ka Hao te Rangatahi is a foundational document used by smoking cessation providers when designing and delivering smoking cessation support.
I am further advised that six-monthly narrative reporting requires all providers to report against the guiding principles, and how these have been implemented at a service level.
