19828 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What is the funding source for additional training placements for doctors and nurse practitioners in GP clinics, and does this funding come from Health New Zealand's existing baselines or from new allocations in Budget 2025?

Hon Simeon Brown: As part of our Government's relentless focus on delivering access to timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders, this funding was made possible due to our Government’s record $16.68 billion investment in health over three Budgets, as a pre-commitment against Budget 2025.
