Answer

I am advised that Health New Zealand does not hold information on full-time-equivalent staff assigned to the website consolidation programme by financial year, as the programme is delivered through a combination of permanent staff, fixed-term staff, contractors, and clinical content specialists. I am further advised that Health NZ does not hold an estimate of total internal staff costs for the programme, as staff time is not recorded at that level.
