Questions are being asked about where hundreds of jobs could be cut at Te Whatu Ora. Former Board chair Rob Campbell —who was sacked by Health Minister Ayesha Verrall this week— says the agency is heading towards a massive restructure. Health Commentator Ian Powell says told Heather du Plessis-Allan that Te Whatu Ora's workforce is largely in hospitals, so the number of people that could be caught up in this proportionally small. He says that for example, some of them will be in payroll and the last thing we want is downsizing payroll services and having people not being paid. Te Whatu Ora says this year they'll be working to deliver on the promise of reforms by continuing to unify, simplify, and integrate their teams.
