Amended Answers to Oral Questions β Question No. 7 to Minister, 8 June 2022
Time unknown
Mr Speaker, I seek leave to make a personal explanation under Standing Order 366 to correct the record in relation to oral parliamentary question No. 7 on 8 June 2022.
π¬ SPEAKER: Is there any objection to that course of action? There appears to be none.
I advised the House, in answer to a question from Dr Shane Reti, that as at 31 March 2022 there were 310 fulltime-equivalent vacancies from midwives and 2,663 fulltime-equivalent vacancies for nurses in the public health system. Iβve received advice from the Ministry of Health that the vacancy numbers in relation to midwives should have been 374, and for nurses should have been 2,593.
