Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter April to June 2024 toward making ‘more detailed information available in order to control for which specific interventions individual referrals have received’ as discussed in the ‘Healthy Homes Initiative: Three-year outcomes evaluation’ report?
Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that the He Kāinga Oranga - Housing and Health Research Programme at the University of Otago continues to evaluate the Healthy Homes Initiative (HHI) using data from the providers.

I am also advised that HHI providers continue to identify interventions related to whānau assessments and record them in their contract management system.
