19402 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

19402 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What programmes or projects at Health New Zealand if any, were delayed in the 2024/25 financial year and what was the reason for any delay in delivery or implementation?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that providing the Member with this information would require Health New Zealand to undertake a substantial manual collation exercise and divert staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210-6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
