Shane Reti: Health Minister on the plan to replace Health NZ's board with a Commissioner

The Health Minister has confirmed some changes will be made to Health NZ to reduce their multi-million dollar monthly overspending. The agency's board will be replaced with a Commissioner to prevent future financial deficits. Minister Shane Reti says people will lose jobs as a result of the new direction at Health NZ. "From 2018 to now, 2500 back office administration and management staff have been taken on board - sometimes it's hard to understand exactly what they've been doing."
