The National-led Government’s Health Targets are producing great results. 99 per cent of patients ready for cancer radiation treatment are starting that treatment within the world gold standard of four weeks. 100 per cent of cancer patients now getting radiation treatment within 6 weeks.
Our other Health Targets are also proving successful. 89 per cent of emergency department patients are admitted, discharged or treated within 6 hours, 89 per cent of two year olds have been immunised, and there have been huge increases in elective surgery.
National is committed to providing better, sooner, more convenient health care to all New Zealanders. There are now 400 more people every week getting elective surgery compared to when we took office. We’re working with District Health Boards to continue to help more people and to help them faster.
