53923 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

53923 (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 ‘Building on the COVID-19 approach, using Whakarongorau – New Zealand Telehealth Services as a recall/ pre-call service and triage to booking with GPs or Māori / Pacific providers, depending on preference’ under ‘Priority Area 4: Enrolment into health services from birth’ 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, general practice remained responsible for pre-call/recall for their enrolled populations, and no progress was made to transition this to a telehealth service.
