"Rules about how payments are made"

Illustration for Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022

The Crown or Health New Zealand can give notice of the terms and conditions for making payments to people. You accept these terms and conditions if you accept the payment. The Crown or Health New Zealand can enforce these terms and conditions as if you had signed an agreement. The terms and conditions usually include a rule that 12 weeks' notice must be given before any changes are made. You can find the notice in the Gazette before it starts. The notice must be made public as soon as possible after it is made. The Crown or Health New Zealand cannot issue a notice that would affect Pharmac or NZBOS. You can find more information about this in section 95. The notice must be published and made public before it takes effect.
