Answer

I am advised that 85 financial settlements were entered into by Health New Zealand during the 2024/25 financial year, at a total cost of $909,626.00. Due to ongoing work to centralise its data information systems, Health NZ is unable to provide total settlement costs for 2023/24 and the current financial year in the timeframe available.
