42697 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Did Health New Zealand pre-commit prioritised investment in Capital Plan 2025/2026 for consolidation of diagnostic results repositories in both Central and Te Manawa Taki, and if not, why not?

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, Health New Zealand has a prioritised fund to support investments in these areas.
