Capital & Coast District Heath Board (CCDHB) requires a CT scanner in the northern part of its district (North Wellington, Porirua & Kapiti) to support wait list recovery and improved access to planned care. Rather than install a CT scanner in a fixed location, CCDHB wants to establish a “mobile” CT unit to serve its population in the northern part of its district if possible.

The key objectives for this project are to:

• Provide more effective and equitable access to CT scanning services
• Optimise the use of CT for acute and complex imaging and intervention
• Improve patient journeys through the health system
• Provide an isolation option not currently available (i.e. physically separate “clean” CT) to safely manage CT imaging during a pandemic response
