Deloitte wins contract for design phase of NZ national screening solution

Deloitte has won a contract to do the initial planning and design for New Zealand's National Screening Solution (NSS), which will initially support the new national bowel screening program and potentially the cervical screening program.

Problems finding a suitable IT solution has plagued the bowel screening program, leading to some people in the trial areas missing their invitation to be screened. The introduction of the HPV test for cervical cancer has also been delayed due to a lack of IT system support.
