18736 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

18736 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What actions, if any, have been taken in the most recent quarter to ensure Te Whatu Ora staff working at all times of the day can access the sustenance they need while working?

Hon Simeon Brown: As the Member will be aware, healthcare staff work across multiple shift patterns. As part of our Government's focus on delivering access to timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders, I expect that Health New Zealand ensures that staff are supported to take breaks and have access to appropriate facilities. I am advised that these options vary across locations.
