What is the number and FTE of Advanced Choice of Employment (ACE) nursing graduates, if any, who were hired in Hawke’s Bay region during the 2025 calendar year?

Answer

I am advised that as of 27 January 2026, a total of 53 graduate registered nurses have been hired by Health New Zealand in Hawkes' Bay through the Advanced Choice of Employment process, across the mid-year and end-of-year 2025 intakes. I am further advised that the FTE for individual nurses will be determined by the district through the offer and acceptance process.
