51400 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What processes have been established with Iwi Maori Partnership Boards to support a measles outbreak response as advised in the briefing to the minister of health (H2024036756 )
Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that, as part of our focus on putting patients first and ensuring all New Zealanders have access to timely, quality healthcare, the processes established for Iwi Māori Partnership Boards to support a measles outbreak are part of a broader response that includes IMPBs, Iwi leaders, and Hauora Māori partners. These processes include regular communications and updates, support for Hauora Māori partners such as prioritising immunisation activities and access to clinical information, and a national awareness campaign.
