75781 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

75781 (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 implementing the recommendation ‘Explore ways for struggling providers and DAAs to understand and access existing cultural supports’ under ‘Recommendations for HealthCERT and other stakeholders’ in the ‘Ngā Paerewa Implementation Evaluation’ independent report?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that this has been noted as a potential area of exploration but will need to be prioritised in line with other HealthCERT work, noting that it is not part of a core regulatory role. I am further advised that this issue will be taken into consideration when reviewing Ngā Paerewa in the future.
