8851 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What recruitment processes, if any, were followed before seconding John Bennett from ACC to Health New Zealand, and on what date was he informed of these processes?

Hon Simeon Brown: I refer the Member to Written Parliamentary question 8850 (2025). I am further advised that a secondment agreement was developed and approved by both organisations. This is an operational appointment that does not require Ministerial approval.
