938 (2025). Hūhana Lyndon to the Minister of Health: What will he do to address the delays in referrals for prostate screening to prevent further loss as a result of prostate cancer?

Hon Simeon Brown: Our Government is focused on delivering timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders. This includes New Zealanders who have been referred for prostate screening. I refer the Member to a Beehive press release outlining some of the actions we are taking to remove access barriers to PET-CT scans: https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/access-barriers-pet-ct-scans-removed
