New Zealand's Health NZ (Te Whatu Ora) offers voluntary redundancies to staff for cost reduction and efficiency.

New Zealand's Health New Zealand (Te Whatu Ora) is offering voluntary redundancies to staff in an effort to reduce overspending and improve efficiency. The agency aims to focus on frontline healthcare by offering voluntary redundancy to a limited number of staff and will continue with "formal change consultation processes" over the coming months. Critics argue that the loss of essential roles, such as medical record keepers and health data management, could exacerbate existing issues in the system.
