8749 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What percentage of people for whom annual colonoscopies are recommended were more than two months overdue for their screening as at 27 February 2025, broken down by district?

Hon Simeon Brown: Our Government is focused on delivering timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders. I am advised that Health New Zealand does not hold data as it has been requested, however, data for key indicators for diagnostics, including colonoscopies, is publicly available on Health New Zealand's website: https://tewhatuora.shinyapps.io/diagnostics_indicator/
