This seems important.

Wellington Hospital's sole gynaeoncologist left the service in November 2024 and is not being replaced.

This means women with gynaecological cancer from Wellington, Hutt Valley, Wairarapa, MidCentral, Whanganui, Taranaki and Hawke's Bay will have to travel to either Auckland or Christchurch to receive any gynaecological oncology surgery over "the next four to five years."

Health New Zealand claims it's "consolidating its services". I guess that's another way of saying 'cost cutting'.
