81039 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has occurred to achieve the initiative 'Ensure data-sharing agreements are in place with hauora Māori partners, Pacific health partners, and Iwi Māori Partnership Boards. This will enable access to data that supports regional and local immunisation uptake initiatives and ensure outreach and follow-up services are targeted to priority communities' included on page 12 of High Level Implementation Plans - Achieving the Health Targets, as at 16 December 2024?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that as of 16 December 2024, Health New Zealand had 87 Māori and 19 Pacific data sharing partners, with 99% of its data going to these partners. These agreements play an important role in improving immunisation coverage.
