58990 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What proportion of graduate registered nurses who sat their state final exam in 2025 were matched to a role in the most recent Advanced Choice of Employment round, if any?

Hon Simeon Brown: As the Member should be aware, Health New Zealand does not have visibility of the total number of graduate registered nurses who sat the state final exam in 2025, as not all graduates who sat the exam in 2025 applied to the most recent ACE round.
