Camilla Belich to the Minister of Health: Further to reply 8104 (2025), which stated that other redundancy payments at Health New Zealand totalled $11,517,074.99 at an average gross payment of $50,292.90, does he confirm that this implies 229 redundancies; if not, what number of employees does that total represent?
