Health Minister Tony Ryall says the Government is about to release new information revealing more people are getting elective surgey.
Mr Ryall told the National Party's annual conference in Christchurch on Saturday the Government is stripping the bureaucracy from the health system and is focussing on delivering good services.
He says it will be possible to report within the next month that the country has had the "single biggest increase in elective surgery over a six month period ever".
