ABSTRACT
Radiology is a key enabler of clinical activity and has been shown to be highly cost effective. Demand and activity have increased over time, with demand for computed tomography (CT), magnetic resource imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) growing faster than population growth. Complexity has also increased over time. Resources in the public sector have not kept up with demand, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. A reliance on an overseas trained workforce has resulted in critical shortages. Waiting times for CT, MRI and US across Aotearoa New Zealand remain well below targets and have not improved over 10 years. Robust links between clinical activity and radiology resourcing are needed to address the deficits and thereby maintain clinical safety.
