Health NZ accused of blocking pay equity claims
There has been no resolution on pay equity for hospice nurses despite three years of work and more than a $100,000 spent. This deeply frustrating situation is felt by the dedicated nurses and healthcare assistants who provide specialist palliative care every day. Our nurses deserve to be paid the same as their peers in Health NZ. As our CEO, Wayne Naylor says in this Stuff story, below. "A nurse's knowledge and skills and expertise do not become less valuable when they move to a hospice."
Hospice and Health NZ: building a stronger partnership for palliative care
Chief Executive Wayne Naylor recently met with Health New Zealand’s Executive Leadership Team to share an overview of hospice care across Aotearoa and discuss how we can work together to strengthen palliative care for New Zealanders.
Wayne began by acknowledging the important progress made this year and thanking Health NZ for the 2026/27 funding uplift, including the targeted $8.8 million increase for hospice services.
A central message to Health NZ leaders was simple: helping people to die well is an essential part of a good health system, and hospice is core health system infrastructure
