58051 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: How will he and/or Health New Zealand ensure that ethnic, socioeconomic, and location-based disaggregated data is consistently used to identify potential gaming across regions, if at all?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised Health New Zealand has established clear data collection standards to ensure accurate representation across ethnic, socioeconomic, and location-based categories. I am further advised Audit NZ conducts routine audits to verify the accuracy and completeness of this data.
