33025 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Of the total funding directed to general practice by Te Whatu Ora, what proportion, if any, is for subsidies for casual patients?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that Health New Zealand cannot easily aggregate this information in the way it has been requested by the Member. I do not consider it to be in the public interest to divert staff from essential services to undertake a substantial collation exercise.
