Union demands investigation into Health NZ's IT staff cuts, citing risks to patient safety and privacy.

The Public Service Association (PSA) is calling for an investigation into Health NZ's plan to cut nearly half of its IT staff, arguing the cuts could jeopardize patient privacy and safety. Health NZ aims to save $100 million by reducing 47% of roles in the Data and Digital Directorate, but the PSA warns this could lead to IT outages and risks to patient data. The union argues the government should be investing in IT upgrades instead.
