The Gateway Assessment Coordinator collates this information along with any information received from Accident Compensation Corporation, Plunket, primary health care services and New Zealand Health Information Service (as appropriate) and books the health assessment with the appropriate health practitioner. Once the Gateway health assessment has been completed, the Gateway Assessment Coordinator combines the information, writes a health report and creates an Interagency Services Agreement that is forwarded on to the child or young CYF social worker.
