81150 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter April to June 2024 on the recommended focus area ‘Te Aho o Te Kahu to work in partnership with Health New Zealand  Te Whatu Ora and the Māori Health Authority  Te Aka Whai Ora to refine and implement a new approach to cancer treatment and support that reflects the interconnectedness needed to deliver a successful cancer care system, including specialist cancer treatment, allied health, non-clinical support, and mātauranga Māori services’ under ‘System-wide solution 1: A transformative approach to cancer treatment and support’ in the Cancer Control Agency ’Cancer Services Planning’ document?
