8838 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Have any changes been made to the operating hours of pharmacy services at any of the public hospitals listed on the Ministry of Health website since 27 November 2023, and if so, what were the changes to those hours, listed by hospital, the date on which those hours changed, and the impact on hours?

Hon Simeon Brown: Our Government is focused on delivering timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders. I am advised there has been an increase in the opening hours for Taranaki Base Hospital's pharmacy services, which now operate from 7.30am Monday to Thursday.
