6600 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Health: How many full time equivalent (FTE) roles, if any, were there in the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, as of 1 January 2026?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that the departments, agencies and crown entities I am responsible for as Minister of Health report annually to the Health Committee on these matters. I do not consider it in the public interest to commit tax-payer funded officials' time to preparing this information ahead of these publications.
