22911 (2025). Rachel Boyack to the Minister of Health: Have any scoring systems, such as clinical prioritisation tools, been changed or introduced in the Nelson Marlborough region in the last 12 months that would affect eligibility for urology specialist assessment?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that no tools or scoring systems have been introduced in the last 12 months. Ensuring that urology patients' needs are addressed is a key part of our Government's focus on putting patients first and ensuring that all New Zealanders have access to timely, quality healthcare.
