The Health Minister has confirmed some changes will be made to Health NZ to reduce their multi-million dollar monthly overspending.

The agency's board will be replaced with a Commissioner to prevent future financial deficits.

Minister Shane Reti says people will lose jobs as a result of the new direction at Health NZ.

"From 2018 to now, 2500 back office administration and management staff have been taken on board - sometimes it's hard to understand exactly what they've been doing."
