49421 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What local workforce plan has already been implemented on Great Barrier Island, and if none, when will it be finalised?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that, as part of our focus on putting patients first and ensuring all New Zealanders have access to timely, quality healthcare, local workforce plans are being developed, and therefore, it would not be in the public interest to disclose this.
