42709 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: How many FTE IT contractors, if any, did Health New Zealand contract on 1 April 2025 and how many FTE do they contract today?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised by Health New Zealand that it is not possible to determine how many IT contractors worked full time hours, and that information is not centrally held on the number of contractors who may have been locally contracted to Health New Zealand districts.
