4778 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: How long has the longest waiting ESPI5 patient been waiting?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that as at 28 March 2024, there were four patients who had been waiting over three years for treatment. Two have confirmed treatment dates in April; one is confirmed for May, and one does not have a confirmed treatment date but has a treatment plan in place.
