ACC is looking at moving some new claims to private providers, it was revealed today.
The corporation is already trialing private provision for people who have been on ACC for a long time but is now looking at new claimants too a staff newsletter said.
ACC said it was a matter of seeing if that was an effective way to operate and Minister Nick Smith said it was about finding the most efficient way to work.
Labour ACC spokesman David Parker said it was privatisation.
"They are moving new cases not just old cases out to the private sector and we find out about this indirectly," he told NZPA.
"It's privatisation by stealth. They are privatising functions that are currently publicly provided."
