53894 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter January to March 2024 in actioning the recommendation ‘The revised immunisation system must be designed through co-design which seeks and values the voices of priority populations, with quality measures defined by what matters to them’ under ‘Priority Area 10: Quality and standards for providers delivering immunisations to tamariki in New Zealand’ within the ‘Initial Priorities for the National Immunisation Programme in Aotearoa 2022’?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that during the January to March 2024 quarter, work progressed to develop an Immunisation Quality & Safety Framework. The framework will cover clinical and culturally safe practices. I am further advised that work has begun on developing immunisation service standards to replace the operating guidelines.
