71565 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter July to September 2024 toward the outcome ‘Aotearoa New Zealand will play a leading role in rare disorders Indigenous health and equity’ under ‘Priority area 5: Why joining up internationally to achieve more is a priority’?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I have been advised that the document the Member is referring to is a supporting document to the Aotearoa New Zealand Rare Disorders Strategy. It outlines how the Ministry of Health developed the Strategy with support from a broad range of expertise across the health and other sectors and sets out the future state as framing for the Strategy. The priority areas are covered in the Strategy itself.
