39210 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

39210 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What actions, if any, does the Minister intend to take to address the key issue ‘Acute public hospital admissions are increasing significantly faster than population growth. In contrast, non-acute hospital discharges (patients from the waiting list or ‘arranged’ bookings) have dropped’ as highlighted in the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists report ‘Just Treading Water’?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I refer the Member to Written Parliamentary Question 39203 (2024).
