25415 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Health: Is Health New Zealand's Healthline 0800 611 116 service exempt from the government's public servant job number cuts?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that Healthline is a contracted service provided by Whakarongorau Aotearoa — New Zealand Telehealth Services, and therefore its staff are not government employees.
