Hon ANDREW LITTLE: The new facilities are just one part of the Government's investment to improve the health and wellbeing of Northland residents. Other projects recently announced in the area include remediation work at Kaitāia Hospital, a linear accelerator at Whangarei Hospital to provide better cancer treatment, and buses to provide mobile surgical and lithotripsy services for kidney and gallbladder issues. A cardiac catheter laboratory and operating theatres were recently opened at Whangarei Hospital, and expanded youth mental health and addiction services are planned across Northland, Auckland, and Waitematā.
