76876 (2024). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Corrections: How many roles, if any, were created in the Minister's departments, if any, since 1 November 2024, and what were these roles, if any?

Hon Mark Mitchell: Corrections is one of New Zealand’s largest core agencies, employing approximately 10,000 staff. The majority of Corrections’ workforce is deployed in frontline roles across 17 Corrections-managed prisons and many more Community Corrections sites across New Zealand. The remaining staff in back-office roles enable frontline staff to carry out their duties by providing support. I am advised that 24 permanent and fixed-term roles were created at Corrections during November 2024. I refer the member to the attached table, which contains a list of each position title and service unit.
