33562 (2025). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Minister of Health: What is the average percentage of contract value retained for overheads by Te Whatu Ora and PHOs for immunisation delivery?

Hon Simeon Brown: Childhood immunisations are a key priority for this Government. We want to see 95 per cent of children fully immunised by 2030, and we know GPs play a critical role in achieving that. That’s why this Government has introduced performance payments for GP clinics that lift childhood immunisation rates by up to ten percentage points, or reach 95 per cent of their enrolled population - with partial payments for partial achievement. I am advised that there is no overhead paid to Primary Health Organisations for this service.
