The Health Minister is looking to ensure procurement rules were followed in a big Health New Zealand contract. 

The agency awarded a $2 million contract to MBI Healthcare Technologies in April 2023. 

It was partly founded by ACC senior executive John Bennett, who left the company in 2020, but had been an advisor to Health New Zealand since 2022. 

Simeon Brown told Mike Hosking he also wants to ensure procurement rules are being followed today. 

He says this is taxpayers' money – they expect to be getting value for money from every dollar and every contract.
