42700 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

42700 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: How much, if anything, has been paid to Deloitte by Health New Zealand in the 24/25 financial year and what services did they provide for this?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that the departments, agencies, and ministries I am responsible for as Minister of Health report annually to the Health Committee on these matters. I do not consider it in the public interest to commit taxpayer-funded officials' time to preparing this information ahead of these publications. For reference, I refer the Member to the 2022/23 Annual Review Questionnaire for the Ministry: https://www.parliament.nz/resource/en-NZ/54SCHEA_EVI_a74dfd93-e35b-4281-33ea-08dbfb539ab6_HEA291/c23ff3af68627c65cb875acadd60b7ed26ad4f22
