15098 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What is the estimated proportion of hospitalised children who require palliative care services, and how has this changed over the past five years?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that Health New Zealand does not hold centralised information on the number of children who require paediatric palliative care services as these services are delivered by a range of providers in various settings.
