15325 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Why has Health New Zealand not yet advertised for the second vacant specialist nursing role in paediatric palliative care?

Hon Simeon Brown: Access to paediatric palliative care is a key part of ensuring children and their parents can get the care they need at an incredibly distressing time for families. I am advised that Health New Zealand's current recruitment will fill the multidisciplinary team.
