Health New Zealand's $65 million Diagnostic Improvement Plan aims to reduce wait times for critical diagnostic procedures like MRI scans and colonoscopies, with an additional 75,000 procedures to be delivered this year. The initiative, supported by targeted workforce growth, will expand access, reduce delays, and improve patient outcomes by ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment. The investment will increase in-house delivery and outsourcing of diagnostic services, complementing the $30 million investment in community-referred radiology to streamline patient access and alleviate pressure on hospitals.
