Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter April to June 2024 on the action ‘Work with palliative care and related partners in accordance with the Palliative Care and Healthy Ageing Strategy Action Plans to build capability and capacity in the health sector to better assist people dying with dementia mate wareware’ under the objective ‘Support people living with dementia mate wareware and their family /whānau supporters/care partners to live their best possible lives’ within Te Whatu Ora’s Improving Dementia Mate Wareware Services in Aotearoa New Zealand Action Plan?
