46093 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

46093 (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, run and evaluate district and service level reports of long waits (FSA and Treatment) and promote regional approaches to remedy’ 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, waiting information for FSAs and treatments was made available at regional, district, and service levels. Waiting times are categorised into groups to highlight long waiters. I am further advised an interactive dashboard allows users to drill down into the details they need. This functionality helps regions and districts identify their specific areas for improvement.
