58056 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What pay equity payments, if any, have been paid to Health New Zealand staff since 27 November 2023, and how have those payments impacted Health New Zealand’s bottom line, listed by date and the staff member(s) affected?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that information on pay equity claims and settlements are available on the Health New Zealand website https://www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/for-health-providers/pay-equity-settlements/pay-equity-claims-and-settlements. I am further advised that the impact of pay equity payments on Health New Zealand’s baseline will be reported once audited financial statements are published in its Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2024. A list of payment dates and affected staff members cannot be provided to protect staff privacy.
