5598 (2025). Hūhana Lyndon to the Minister of Health: What is the rate of tooth decay incidence (or similar indicators) in Northland for Māori vs non-Māori?

Hon Simeon Brown: Our Government is focused on delivering timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders. I am advised that Health NZ does not hold data on the rate of tooth decay in Northland for Māori vs non-Māori adults.
