54255 (2024). Ingrid Leary to the Associate Minister of Health: Does the Minister agree with Hauora Taiwhenua Rural Health Network's request that Geographical Classification of Health be used in all reporting of the 10 health targets to provide rural/ urban comparisons; if not, why not?

Hon Matt Doocey: I am advised that through the Government Policy Statement on Health (GPS), a clear expectation has been set that rurality (rural/urban breakdowns) is a consideration for the list of measures to be monitored.
