19110 (2025). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister of Health: How many children’s dental surgeries, if any, has the mobile surgical unit carried out on the Kapiti Coast in the 2025 calendar year to date?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that a total of 23 children treated have been treated by the mobile unit on the Kapiti Coast so far in 2025 as part of our Government's focus on delivering access to timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders. I note that this is more than the total number of children treated throughout all of 2022 under the previous government.
