11492 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Is AI being used for radiology reporting in New Zealand, and if so, in what circumstances is it being used, what checks and oversight measures are in place to ensure accuracy and quality, and how many reports have been processed using AI in the last 12 months, listed by district?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that AI is used as a reporting assistance tool for radiologists to support delivering access to timely, quality healthcare. I am further advised that radiologists remain responsible for report content.
