943 (2025). Hūhana Lyndon to the Minister of Health: What actions is he taking regarding the implementation of a prostate cancer testing regime in New Zealand, based on the findings of the Final Report (Petition of Kristine Hayward)?

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 am advised the National Screening Advisory Committee assesses new population screening programmes.
