12798 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter October – December 2023, on providing "health service access access performance on monitoring unwanted variation in service access and outcome and equity measures for the four key priority areas’ under section 5.1 ‘Performance reporting’ within Te Whatu Ora’s Te Pae Tata: Interim New Zealand Health Plan 2022?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I refer the Member to Written Parliamentary Question 12796 (2024) I am further advised that Health New Zealand is laying the foundations for integrating standards and models of care through its National Clinical Network programme. This approach will allow Health NZ to identify ways to address variation in service quality and outcomes, and develop innovative, efficient and evidence-based solutions that can be applied across the system.
