46418 (2024). Francisco Hernandez to the Associate Minister of Health

46418 (2024). Francisco Hernandez to the Associate Minister of Health: How many staff, if any, were employed in the Minister's departments, if any, on 1 July 2024 broken down by job title and salary band range?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised this information is not available in the level of detail requested within the timeframe of Written Parliamentary Question, and would require Pharmac to undertake a substantial manual collation exercise and divert staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 185-6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest. However, for the number of staff in $10,000 salary bands, as at 30 June 2023, I refer the Member to Question 94 of the 2022/23 Annual Review Questionnaire for Pharmac, which can be found on Parliament’s website: https://www.parliament.nz/resource/en-NZ/54SCHEA_EVI_e640572a-b6ae-4522-33ec-08dbfb539ab6_HEA723/40ce4b92f6f984fb544e7f63656ac6a6b8da94fd
