9909 (2025). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Health: How many colonoscopies, if any, were performed in Palmerston North Hospital over the past week Monday 3 March to Sunday 9 March broken down per day?

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