44799 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: How many “shifts below target” have occurred, if any, in maternity wards from 1 January to 31 July 2025, as reported in the Care Capacity Demand Management programme, listed by district?

Hon Simeon Brown: I refer the member to the attached table, which shows the number of maternity ward shifts below target by district between January and July 2025. For comparison I have included data for the same seven-month period in each of 2022, 2023, and 2024. Additionally, I have provided data on shifts above target to give the Member a more complete picture.
