How many Senior Medical Officers, specialist nurses, and allied health staff have been appointed using the specific funding announced on 26 November 2024, and in which hospitals?

Answer

I am advised that the funding announced on 26 November 2024 has been allocated to the following additional roles across New Zealand: • Senior Medical Officers - 51.455 Full Time Equivalents (FTE) • Advanced Nursing - 66.46 FTE • Advanced Allied Health, Scientific and Technical - 23.9 FTE I am further advised that information about the appointments and current location of incumbents is not held centrally. It is subject to change due to the nature of workforce movements and would require substantial collation and verification across multiple systems and locations.
