Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, alongside Health Minister Shane Reti, announced that significant changes could be made to Health NZ’s leadership due to severe financial mismanagement. The health body is overspending by $130 million monthly, risking a $1.4 billion deficit. Luxon appointed Commissioner Lester Levy to address these issues and ensure every dollar is effectively utilised. Luxon said that all options are open to improve Health NZ’s performance.
