2240 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Associate Minister of Health

2240 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Associate Minister of Health: How many cases of workplace bullying were referred to external investigators, mediators, the Employment Relations Authority, or other external bodies in each calendar year since 2015 in relation to any staff, employees, secondees, contractors, or office holders for whom the Minister has responsibility in connection with the portfolio, if any?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised by Pharmac that the information requested for this period is not centrally held and would require a substantial manual collation exercise and divert staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210-6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
