Reti ShaneDr SHANE RETI (National): Thank you Madam Chair. I would like to pick up some further questions with question seven if I may please and that question talks to the surgical waiting list and asks: over the year in question did the surgical wait-list for those waiting longer than the promised four months for their surgery increase or decrease?Question eight I'd like to ask the Minister is: how does she explain the 31-day faster cancer treatment times being some of the worst if not the worst figures reported at annual review by Bay of Plenty Northland Nelson-Marlborough Lakes and Wairarapa? How do we explain that very important faster cancer treatment time—the 31-day faster cancer treatment time—being some of the very worst ever reported? That's question eight.Question nine is: have emergency department wait times to target increased or decreased over the past year—the year in review?Question 10: why did health officials not progress a collaboration with Kaweka developers opposite Hawke's Bay Hospital to co-develop linear accelerators? This looks like it was making progress through the district health board (DHB) and then more recently they're reporting that it has been as they say completely kiboshed is what the report was—what's that?—four five maybe six days ago. I'm interested and I'm sure the people of Hawke's Bay are interested to know what happened with that collaboration over the year in review that led to that conclusion. That's question 10.Question 11: what hospitals have had water leaks sewage leaks or black mould identified as problematic in hospital buildings? Now I have a particular interest in this because Northland Base Hospital in 2021 as referred to in written parliamentary question (WPQ) 41177 had a leak which was a sewage leak in the main stack. And when we checked its progress it was well later in 2022—so almost a year later WPQ 40832—where the statement is I am advised the initial leak has now been contained however further leaks have been discovered and are being remediated." So just in that hospital alone we have sewage for what has now been for a year. I'm interested to know about water leaks sewage leaks or black mould. And we know of course some of the leaks in the emergency department in Waikato but that's a little bit outside the scope of what we're looking for in this annual review but which other hospitals had similar concerns.Question 12 is more general: can the Minister name any health metrics for Māori—Māori health measures—that have improved over the year in question? Question 13: did she receive any communications on the impact of any potential Australian announcements of New Zealanders being given residence and the impact of that on our health workforce and if so what was that impact?Question 14: are answers to written parliamentary questions correct that in the first three months of establishment of the Māori Health Authority there was no financial budget—a multimillion-dollar entity had no financial budget for the first three months of its existence—if that is correct how do we explain that?Question 15: the Minister in one of her replies described opening the green list for health workforce. The question would have to be—because we would contend that was horribly late; that the letter from Keriana Brooking 18 months to two years previously pointed out on behalf of all DHBs the importance of opening those immigration settings. And so my question would be: did she actively lobby the Minister of Immigration during the year in review to more quickly open up the day one fast-track to residency for nurses?Question 16 is: why was the cancer target removed for the first half of the year in question; why was it not one of the 12 health indicators front and centre as a measure of the health system?And the last question I have—question 17—is: did those 12 health indicators which were collaborated with the Health Quality and Safety Commission (HQSC) only last for six months before the HQSC was removed from the project and a completely new set of health metrics brought into place? Those are the questions I have."
