58045 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What value can nurse practitioners add to health care in New Zealand

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that nurse practitioners are cost effective highly skilled professionals who provide comprehensive care, from diagnosis to treatment and management, across the primary, secondary, and tertiary interfaces. Health New Zealand is committed to the strategic development and growth of the nurse practitioners workforce to enhance healthcare service delivery, access, and outcomes for all New Zealanders.
