    Are there any cases in the past three years where the same infection prevention and control finding has been repeated in a subsequent audit at the same facility; if so, how many, and at which hospitals?

Answer

I am advised that from 2022 to date, four public hospitals have had recurring partial attainments, over varying periods, related to infection prevention and control that remain as a partial attainment. These public hospitals are: • Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora Waikato • Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora Tairāwhiti • Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora Te Toka Tumai Auckland • Health New Zealand- Te Whatu Ora Nelson Marlborough
