New Zealand launches a 12-month pilot for a hospital hub in Auckland to improve safety and coordination during prison medical escorts.
New Zealand’s Department of Corrections is launching a 12-month pilot for a "hospital hub" in Auckland to replace its current prison escort model, deemed outdated and risky.
The initiative, led by health official Ben Storey, aims to improve safety, reduce overtime, and enhance coordination between Corrections and health teams.
It follows a November escape during a hospital escort but is not tied to any single incident.
The pilot will test new operating models, including potential dedicated facilities and escort rosters, while maintaining current staffing levels.
Medical decisions will remain with hospital staff.
