How many colonoscopies, if any, were performed in Palmerston North during the period Monday 27 October 2025 to Sunday 2 November 2025, broken down by venue and by day?

Answer

I am advised that 40 colonoscopies were performed in Palmerston North Hospital during this period 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 this data has not been provided broken down by day in order to protect patient confidentiality. As the Member will be aware, this is unvalidated operational data and should not be treated as definitive or relied on as fact. Additionally, demand for these services varies.
