40593 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Which services, if any, count as an "in-person urgent care service" for the purpose of measuring the target of 98 percent of New Zealanders able to receive in-person urgent care within one hour’s drive of their homes, and are on-call-only services, PRIME services, rural hospitals and general practices included?
