Health Minister Andrew Little says the national bowel screening programme has already detected more than 1000 New Zealanders with bowel cancer.
The programme started in 2017 and is now in 17 of the 20 district health board areas.

Controversial colonoscopy category to be phased out by Southern DHB


In October, then crown monitor Dr Andrew Connolly was appointed to chair an Endoscopy User Group to implement recommendations to improve the board s colonoscopy services.

On Monday, Connolly, who is now the chief medical officer for the Ministry of Health and a clinical advisor to the Southern DHB, said removing the category was simply a matter of bureaucracy.
