5516 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: When, if at all, will the Waikato Graduate Medical School seek stage 1 accreditation from the New Zealand and Australian Medical Councils?

Hon Simeon Brown: As the Member should be aware, this matter does not sit within my responsibilities. I am advised that this is a question best put to the University of Waikato directly.
