    Urgent care is getting a 164 million dollar boost in this year's budget

    18 May 2025
    Services will be expanded across the country in an effort to take the pressure off the rest of the health service.

    Health Minister Simeon Brown says this will compliment other health measures.

    He's stressing that this is new funding.

    Brown says the funding is on top of already existing cost pressure funding, which was laid out in previous budgets.
