Figures are gross and do not include payments refunded by providers to Inland Revenue.
Figures do not include KiwiSaver contributions held by Inland Revenue.

1 Closed accounts are primarily due to people being incorrectly enrolled or being ineligible for enrolment, or a provider initiated closure, for example due to the death of a member.
