26229 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Health: How many financial settlements, if any, have been entered into with employees, former employees, contractors, or office holders by any agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, broken down by organisation, total cost, and year, as at 5 June 2026?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that 85 financial settlements were entered into by Health New Zealand during the 2024/25 financial year, at a total cost of $909,626.00. Due to ongoing work to centralise its data information systems, Health NZ is unable to provide total settlement costs for 2023/24 and the current financial year in the timeframe available.
