58178 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister of Health: Has funding been approved for tranches two and three of the business case for work to enable a single national approach for sharing health information between authorised healthcare providers, as referred to on page 20 of the recent Aroturuki Tamariki report titled 'Towards a Stronger Safety Net to Prevent Abuse of Children'?
Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that funding has not been approved for tranches two and three of the business case. However, I am further advised that the core of a national shared electronic health record is proposed to be available to clinicians in 2025, which will enable them to access selected summary information about children (and their families).
