40591 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What percentage, if any, of New Zealanders does he expect to be within a 60-minute drive of an in-person urgent care service at the end of each of the four years of implementing Budget 2025's $164 million funding for improving urgent care and after-hours healthcare services?
