What ovarian cancer treatment access data is currently collected nationally, if any?
Answered by
Hon Simeon Brown
Member for Pakuranga · National Party · Minister of Health
Answer
I am advised that Health New Zealand's Faster Cancer Treatment data set provides nationwide information about timeliness of access to care for ovarian cancer. I am further advised that work is underway as a part of the development of Health NZ's Health Data Platform to link data from national data collections, which will improve information about access to, and timeliness of, treatment throughout patients’ journeys.
