National has reset the cap on the number of positions in core government administration at the lower level of 36,475 fulltime equivalents. We are already under that number and will stay under it.
In our last term we lowered the cap to just under 39,000 which helped us successfully turn around the huge increase in public service numbers under the Labour government.
Last year we campaigned on a lower cap. We are delivering on that promise.
The cap will count most people working in government departments and in some Crown entities. It will not include frontline staff such as teachers, hospital staff, police officers or prison officers. The lower cap reflects that the public service is subject to the same pressures as households and business right across New Zealand.
