You could also call this:

“Minister sets pay and rules for some health workers”

The Minister decides how much money certain health workers get paid and what rules they need to follow for their work. This applies to health workers who are only paid by fees or commission, or those who are hired for a specific time under a contract. The Minister also decides how these fees are paid, including any extra money for travel costs related to their work. These rules are part of the Social Security Act 2018 and apply to medical services in New Zealand.
