29868 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Health: How many graduate positions, if any, were there in the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, as of 1 June 2025?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised the Ministry did not have any graduate positions as at 1 June 2025. I refer the Member to Written Parliamentary Question 23795 (2025) for the most up to date information available. I am further advised that this specific retrospective data, as requested by the Member, is not currently held in an easily reportable format by Health New Zealand. I do not consider it to be in the public interest to divert staff from essential services to undertake a substantial collation exercise.
