50664 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: What criteria, if any, determined the selection of vape kit distribution sites?

Hon Casey Costello: I am advised that vape devices and pods were distributed to Stop Smoking Services that opted to participate in the pilot initiative. Selection was therefore based on provider willingness to take part in the pilot, rather than predetermined site criteria.
