7910 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Finance

7910 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Finance: In the Minister’s departments, ministries and agencies for which savings have been identified, resulting from the Government’s directive to reduce expenditure in the public service, what percentage of employees who are set to lose their roles, if any, are located in the Nelson Region?

Hon Nicola Willis: I am advised that these decisions are the responsibility of the relevant Chief Executive. Furthermore, I am aware that The Treasury has publicly confirmed they are currently working toward a reduction of approximately 50 roles through attrition, the ending of fixed term roles and closing of vacancies. For RBNZ, I refer the Member to the reply to Written Question 4075 (2024).
