17231 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter October to December 2024 toward the outcome ‘Aotearoa New Zealand will play a leading role in rare disorders Indigenous health and equity’ under ‘Priority area 5: Why joining up internationally to achieve more is a priority’ in the Aotearoa New Zealand Rare Disorders Strategy?

Hon Simeon Brown: As mentioned in Written Parliamentary Questions 49679 (2024) and 71565 (2024), the outcomes the Member is referring to is not found in the New Zealand Rare Disorders Strategy. If the Member intended to refer to a different document that supports our Government's focus on delivering access to timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders, I would be happy to provide the relevant update.
