42692 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What issues have been identified in Central and Te Manawa Taki regions regarding the presence of "siloed diagnostic results repositories" as reported in Health New Zealand's Digital Services change documents?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that, as part of our focus on putting patients first and ensuring all New Zealanders have access to timely, quality healthcare, Central region has a mix of inhouse and outsourced laboratory service provisions, and that the Midland region has three diagnostic results repositories. I am advised that Health New Zealand has work underway to address any challenges.
