Budget 2022 has allocated $225 million over ten years to fund the digital transformation of the Southern region’s health system.

This is split into $161m in capital and $64m in operating costs, with $155m available in the next four years.

It will fund the digital infrastructure needed to support the new Dunedin hospital, as well as deliver digital solutions across the wider Southern health system including the Southland and Lakes District hospitals, and rural trust hospitals.
