27099 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

27099 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: How many full-time equivalent staff departed Health New Zealand in each calendar month since 1 July 2022, broken down by district and by whether the departure was voluntary resignation, redundancy, retirement, or other?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that providing the Member with this information would require Health NZ 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.
