49044 (2025). Hon Jenny Salesa to the Minister of Health: How many funded dialysis treatment sessions, if any, are delivered per week in South Auckland, and what is the cost to the district of providing more sessions than funding supports?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that 2942 funded dialysis treatment sessions are delivered per week in South Auckland, as part of our focus on putting patients first and ensuring all New Zealanders have access to timely, quality healthcare. I am further advised that these treatments are funded within budget, and therefore there is no cost to the district.
