The Prime Minister says he wants Nicola Willis to drive economic growth across all ministries in her new role. 

The Finance Minister has been given the Economic Growth portfolio, formerly known as Economic Development. 

Willis will look over education, infrastructure, science and research, less regulation and stronger international connections within the role. 

Christopher Luxon told Ryan Bridge she'll continue to manage the country's finances, and ensure the budget is working.  

Meanwhile, incoming Health Minister Simeon Brown has been meeting with Health Commissioner Lester Levy.
