AMENDED ANSWERS TO ORAL QUESTIONS — Question No. 3 to Minister

Earlier today I said in answer to a parliamentary question that 97 percent of New Zealanders were receiving radiation treatment within 6 months. I wish to take the earliest possible opportunity to correct an inaccuracy in that statement. The correct figure, in fact, is that 97 percent of New Zealanders are receiving radiation treatment within 2 months. I apologise to the House for understating the Government’s success.
