16075 (2025). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Minister of Health: What were the outcomes, if any, following the Minister’s visit to Palmerston North Hospital on the 26 February 2025?

Hon Simeon Brown: Since becoming Minister, I have visited a number of public hospitals across the country, including Palmerston North, Whangārei, Auckland City, Starship, Middlemore, Manukau Health Park, North Shore, Tōtara Haumaru, Waikato, Tauranga, Hawke's Bay, Palmerston North, Wairarapa, Hutt, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Burwood, and Dunedin. Visiting these hospitals is important to see the hard work of our frontline staff in delivering access to timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders.
