Te Whatu Ora is blaming old tech for its failed payments. 

Up to 10,000 nurses in Auckland, Waitemata, Counties Manukau, and Nelson have still to receive their pay rises. 

The money was supposed to hit their accounts by September 27 at the latest. 

Te Whatu Ora Chief People Officer Andrew Slater told Mike Hosking that the situation is a big frustration for their people, and for them. 

He says many of the payroll systems that pay more than 90,000 people are out of date, and not up to the job 

Slater's assuring people they will be paid by the end of this, and next month.
