22832 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Was the digital health consultation provided to the stroke patient at Kaitāia Hospital delivered under a formal contract with Health New Zealand, and if so, what was the contract value and scope?

Hon Simeon Brown: As the Member will be aware, in May 2023, under the previous government, Health New Zealand signed a formal contract with a digital health provider to deliver clinical support across various service settings in Northland hospitals. It would not be in the public interest for me to disclose publicly the contract value.
