Answer

I refer the Member to our Government's health targets that are focused on reducing wait times and delivering better health outcomes as part of our plan to build a healthcare system that has patients at its centre. This includes a new health target for primary care: https://www.health.govt.nz/statistics-research/system-monitoring/health-targets
