2877 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What actions, if any, have been taken in the last quarter to recommission our staff support services (EAP) to ensure they cover our staff’s physical, psychological and cultural wellbeing, as outlined in Te Whatu Ora's health workforce plan?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that between October and December 2023, Health New Zealand worked with the All of Government panel led by the Ministry of Social Development to confirm a consistent set of providers and specified services over time regardless of where staff are based.
