39525 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Further to WPQ 37510 (2024), how many trainees, if any, were there prior to 10 June 2024?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that training numbers vary according to specialty, and are sometimes dependent on hospital training capacity; whether Colleges have capacity to employ and train, and a variety of other factors. Information about Health New Zealand's trainee doctor workforce can be found in its quarterly Health Workforce Information Programme at https://www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/for-health-professionals/health-workforce-development/health-workforce-initiatives/health-workforce-information-programme/.
