AIHW - Unmet Need Data

Question

We heard from the AIHW during estimates that the Phase 1 pilot project on unmet need will be finalised by the end of the year, but there are currently no plans or timeframes for completion of a full national picture of unmet need. What is the government doing to expedite delivery of national unmet need data? Can you estimate the timeframe by which that data will be available? How are decisions being made on meeting unmet need in the absence of that data?

Answer

Please see attached answer.
