3071 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What contingency plans, if any, does Health NZ have to ensure access to maternity services in Gore and Dannevirke if financial pressures force service reductions?

Hon Simeon Brown: Our Government is focused on delivering timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders. I am advised that in the event that a provider notifies a service change, a contingency plan is developed.
