46564 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What, if any, limits are placed on the ordering of genetic tests by clinical geneticists in New Zealand?

Hon Simeon Brown: As the Member may be aware, as part of our focus on putting patients first and ensuring all New Zealanders have access to timely, quality healthcare, Genetic Health Services New Zealand accept patients who are likely to meet the threshold for testing, or if a genetic diagnosis has been made by another clinician and genetic counselling is requested.
