What “alternative financing” models and sources are being considered as part of the Health Digital Investment Plan?

Answer

I am advised that Health New Zealand has a number of choices available to fund digital investment, including reprioritisation of baseline, adjustments to the capex/opex funding profile of investments, alternative financing and new funding. I am further advised that funding options, including alternative financing options, will be considered through investment cases for any programme on a case-by-case basis, following the Treasury Better Business Case process.
