Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora has implemented a freeze on hiring for all non-frontline roles – to bring down spending. 

This will include all hospital roles that are not patient-facing, and all public health roles that are not community-facing.

Health New Zealand Chief People Officer, Andrew Slater, told Heather du Plessis-Allan “That pause is likely to be on as we enter July-August as well.”

Slater said “This pause will move the recruitment process back down to local hands.”
