4780 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: How long has the longest waiting ESPI2 patient been waiting?
Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that Health New Zealand is unable to provide the requested data on ESPI2 patient wait times, due to data anomalies in the system. I am also advised that there is a substantial amount of work needed to collate this data, including working with the districts. I am further advised that Regional planned care SROs are working with the local teams on this data issue.
