66527 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

66527 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What actions, if any, have been taken in the quarter April to June 2024 to implement the recommendation ‘Review of current follow-up lists, especially to identify patients where clinical risk is regarded as excessive’ as part of Te Whatu Ora Planned Care Taskforce Reset and Restore Plan?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that management and review of follow-up waitlists continues to be managed by district and by specialty. Districts look to balance FSA and follow-up demand; the on-going review of overdue waitlists and the clinical risk to patients is part of their operational management processes.
