4700 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: Following the Ministry of Health’s move in 2020 from a compliance-based to partnership-based approach to monitoring Pharmac, what progress, if any, has been made in the last quarter (September to December 2023) in ‘helping prepare and review the accountability documents mentioned earlier’ as discussed on page 39 of the Pharmac review final report?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised that progress in helping prepare and review the key accountability documents mentioned on page 39 of the Pharmac review final report has been maintained in accordance with the annual accountability cycle for Crown entities. Preparation and review of accountability documents generally occurs outside the period specified in the Member's question.
