7416 (2025). Hūhana Lyndon to the Minister of Health: What was the total cost, if any, of the bowel cancer screening pilot for Māori and Pacific people aged 50 and above?

Hon Simeon Brown: Our Government is focused on delivering timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders. As some pilots are still ongoing, the final expenditure is not yet available. However, I refer the Member to the attached table, which compares the outcomes of the previous government's bowel cancer screening proposal with our Government's recent bowel cancer screening announcement.
