The Government is putting $30 million towards free and timely access to radiology services including X-rays, CT scans and ultrasounds across the country.
Health Minister Shane Reti made the announcement this morning during a visit to Waikanae Health Centre.
Senior Political Correspondent Barry Soper told Jack Tame “The biggest problem has been in the provinces.”
Soper said “At the moment, you’ve got to go to a specialist, to be referred for X-rays, CT scans and ultrasounds. You can imagine how long that can take.”
