18762 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

18762 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the most recent quarter in actioning the recommendation ‘Set up a system to enable direct birth notification from hospital and lead maternity carer to PHO enrolment, rather than indirectly via the National Immunisation Register. This is likely to lead to more timely and complete enrolment of newborn babies directly to PHO enrolment’ under ‘Priority Area 4: Enrolment into health services from birth’ within the ‘Initial Priorities for the National Immunisation Programme in Aotearoa 2022’?

Hon Simeon Brown: I refer the Member to Written Parliamentary Question 18624 (2025).
