8547 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

8547 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the last quarter (October – December 2023) to develop a ‘Current state health and disability data maturity model’ under ‘Horizon One’ of the Data and Information Strategy for Health and Disability: Roadmap 2021-2024?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that work on a data maturity assessment was not started until the January - March 2024 quarter. I am further advised the Data and Information Strategy for Health and Disability was developed by the Ministry of Health and pre-dates the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act and the formation of Health NZ. During the October - December 2023 quarter, progress on aspects of the current Strategy and roadmap continued, led by Health New Zealand, and will be reviewed within the context of the New Zealand Health Plan when published in 2024.
