44482 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter (January to March 2024) toward the outcome ‘Support a nationally coordinated research agenda’ under ‘Focus area three: Kōkiri Ngātahi System readiness and change’ within the Rheumatic Fever Roadmap?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised during the January to March 2024 quarter, the focus was on planning the National Rheumatic Fever Sector Symposium (held on 23-24 July). The agenda for the symposium included updates on a range of research initiatives and opportunities around Group A Strep, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease, including the vaccine development.
