12333 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What percentage of current vacancies at Wellington Hospital have been advertised as at 31 March 2026?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that the number of vacancies currently in active recruitment (i.e., advertised, at interview, at reference check, or offer accepted but not yet started) can only be accurately provided as FTE rather than a percentage, as this more accurately reflects the operational position.
