Health NZ ousts chief financial officer after big deficits

Last year, Rosalie Hughes was named ‘CFO of the Year’ at New Zealand’s big business awards. This year, after Government criticism of mounting deficits at Health NZ, she’s been sidelined.
Newsroom can reveal that chief executive Fepulea’i Margie Apa announced Hughes’ exit to Te Whatu Ora’s executive leadership team, along with two other top executives, as Dr Lester Levy was parachuted in as commissioner of the agency.
