8847 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What specific roles and responsibilities do Brent Goldsack and Leo Foliaki hold within Health NZ’s “turnaround team,” and have these roles been formally documented or approved by the responsible minister?

Hon Simeon Brown: Our Government is focused on delivering timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders. I am advised that Brent Goldsack supports management and that Leo Foliaki advises management. Both roles do not require formal approval from the responsible Minister as these are operational matters for Health New Zealand.
