58162 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What assurances, if any, can the Minister provide that the reprioritization of funds will not lead to underfunding in other critical areas, such as access to MRI or CT scans?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that Health New Zealand remains focused on improving access to timely and quality health services, and that reprioritisation decisions always have a high regard for clinical areas.
