56538 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: How many pharmacists, if any, have been employed by Te Whatu Ora in the community sector the last three months to 9 September 2024?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that Health New Zealand does not hold workforce data for the three months to 9 September 2024. The only available data is from Health NZ’s quarterly Health Workforce Information Programme; the most recent quarter available being January to March 2024, which can be found here: https://tewhatuora.govt.nz/for-health-professionals/health-workforce-development/health-workforce-initiatives/health-workforce-information-programme/
