46092 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

46092 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What actions, if any, have been taken in the quarter (January to March 2024) to implement the recommendation ‘Develop a clear set of shared measures and reporting framework which displays normalised equity performance measures’ as part of Te Whatu Ora Planned Care Taskforce Reset and Restore Plan?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that during the January to March 2024 quarter, Health New Zealand developed metrics for current wait time distribution; rate per 100,000 population; proportion of patients compared to the population, and treat-in-turn metrics. All these metrics can be viewed by ethnicity, deprivation, geographic area, age, and gender.
