Stakeholder workshops: Updating the Medically Dependent Consumer and Vulnerable Consumer guidelines
|
|
We are hosting a series of workshops to inform the update of the guidelines for vulnerable and medically dependent consumers.
On 29 July the Authority hosted its third workshop. At this workshop participants:
- debated the application of the agreed layered approach to guidance vs prescribed actions, and
- tested a prototype of recommendations against some consumer scenarios.
You can see the workshop presentation and output slides here.
Based on stakeholder feedback we have decided to change the dates of the workshops for the coming six weeks.
We will hold a zoom only session on 13 August to discuss the application of the guidelines and key policy questions.
Our fourth workshop will be a whole-day in-person event in Wellington on 9 September. At this workshop we will work through the strawman package in more detail.
