12121 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What proportion of the $30 million investment in radiology services is allocated to increasing the number of medical imaging technologists employed in public hospitals, if any?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that this annual investment by Health New Zealand supports community-referred radiology, ensuring access to timely, quality healthcare provided through both public hospitals and outsourced providers. Hospitals have the flexibility to allocate these funds as needed, ensuring they can best meet patient demand.
