39319 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter January to March 2024 on the recommended focus area ‘Develop and implement a future focused approach to the cancer workforce that creates a digitally capable workforce that is able to use telehealth to its full potential’ under ‘System-wide solution 4: Workforce’ in the Cancer Control Agency ’Cancer Services Planning’ document?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that during the January to March 2024 quarter several initiatives were underway to promote digital enablement within the wider health workforce, including launches of a revised telehealth e-learning module and a clinical triage toolkit, and integration of Telehealth Patient Feedback on the national survey platform through the Health Quality and Safety Commission.
