NZNO team reviewing DHB offer now

Industrial Services Manage Cee Payne has today announced that the NZNO DHB MECA negotiating team received a revised offer from district health boards (DHBs) this afternoon.

“The DHBs have unexpectedly publicised their revised offer this afternoon at 3:15 pm today. NZNO will be making no comment until members receive our analysis of the offer,” Cee Payne said.

“The next steps for NZNO are to discuss the offer with the full NZNO negotiation team and the NZNO DHB National Delegate Committee tomorrow.

“A full NZNO analysis will be out to members on Thursday this week and it is most likely that we will hold a media conference at that time once the members have received our analysis.

“At this stage we are not in a position to comment on the offer as this is not per our negotiation process,” Cee Payne reconfirmed.
