Attributable to a Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora spokesperson

Last week we informed staff that there would be further consultation this week on positions in some of our national level groups, as we go through the change required to ensure we live within our budget and move resources and decision making closer to local communities.

This followed conversations with staff and unions and supports our commitment to approach change collaboratively and transparently.

While we will not provide detailed comment out of respect for our staff, information in current media reporting is inaccurate and we will clarify those errors once consultations have started tomorrow.
