It's deeply concerning that health practitioners who take smear tests, whose job it is to provide services to our patients along a cervical-screening pathway, are forced to go through such an outdated and obsolete programme. Unfortunately, that's just one way that shows the inefficiencies in our healthcare system. We have to acknowledge that the problem here is not with the health professionals. Our nurses and our doctors do a great job helping New Zealanders with their healthcare needs. It's just a massive flaw in a system that they're having to do it with such outdated technology.
