Further to reply 17214 (2026), according to the Minsitry of Health's data what is the number of Public Hospital beds in New Zealand per quarter for the past six financial years?

Answer

I am advised that Health New Zealand does not routinely report on the number of public hospital beds as a single standardised quarterly series. However, the Ministry of Health has a public list of all certified public hospital providers in New Zealand, including the number of beds, available at www.health.govt.nz/regulation-legislation/certification-of-health-care-services/certified-providers/public-hospitals.
