54508 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

54508 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: How many placements for nursing students are available in 2024, and were available in 2023?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that Health New Zealand is unable to provide the information sought by the Member within a written parliamentary question timeframe as it would take substantial effort and require Health NZ to divert personnel from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering these questions within this timeframe is not in the public interest.
