Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Health): I draw the member's attention to my original statement, reported in the New Zealand Herald on 4 September 2021, where I said—and I quote—"Most of the DHBs have done an extraordinary amount to be ready and prepared, and they have been. Some things, I think, could have been done a little better. There was extra funding provided last year, and an online module for more nurses to do ICU learning, so that they could go into an ICU environment if they were called for. Some DHBs got on top of it. Others haven't so much." However, I will note that, in response to the recent Delta outbreak, all DHBs have accelerated the training of additional nurses in ICU skills to ensure sufficient nurses are available. Last year, all DHBs were urged, also, to ensure their health workforce were properly fit tested for the P2/N95 masks. Many fulfilled that request, but some have not completed the task just yet.
