16414 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for ACC: Which districts, if any, have implemented the arthritis management aspects of the Integrated Care Pathways Musculoskeletal (ICPMSK) programme, and what are the specific technical components included in each district's implementation?

Hon Scott Simpson: I am advised each district has Integrated Care Pathways Musculoskeletal (ICPMSK) services operational for eligible clients with post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the knee or shoulder. Suppliers must deliver the services to the specifications of the ICPMSK Service Schedule and Operational Guidelines. The individual supplier is responsible for specific clinically appropriate pathways delivered by the interdisciplinary team, utilising best-practice rehabilitation approaches.
