16410 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for ACC: How many physiotherapists are currently employed in each district to support arthritis care within the Integrated Care Pathways Musculoskeletal program, if any, and what specific technical roles do they perform?

Hon Scott Simpson: I am advised that there are no physiotherapists employed specifically for post-traumatic osteoarthritis care of the knee or shoulder by Integrated Care Pathways Musculoskeletal suppliers. ACC does not record the number of physiotherapists, whether employed or contracted, under each of the suppliers delivering services.
