New Zealand's PSA demands investigation into health organization's proposed cuts to anti-fraud roles.

The Public Service Association in New Zealand is calling for the Auditor-General to investigate the proposed cuts to 23 anti-fraud roles at Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand, a 28% workforce reduction. The PSA argues this could lead to millions of health dollars being lost, as these specialized auditors recover about $430,000 annually each. Health NZ contends the cuts target management layers and aim to enhance existing controls.
