66554 (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 ‘Identify the patients waiting >12 months for FSA using the clinically assigned priority and book FSA in priority order by 30 Sept 22. (Waiting Times Directive)’ as part of Te Whatu Ora Planned Care Taskforce Reset and Restore Plan?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised Health New Zealand have a comprehensive Planned Care dashboard that reports patients waiting at a range of intervals, through to patients waiting over 12 months for FSA. The data is available at a service, district, and regional level.
