New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will formally hand over to her deputy Winston Peters, once she arrives at hospital to give birth.

Her office has released details about her public plans once her baby is born and her baby is due on the 17th of this month.

If she is in Auckland Ardern will go to Auckland Hospital, but there are contingency plans if she is elsewhere.

She has already said she will work up until she goes into labour, and New Zealand Parliament resumes sitting next week for a four‑week session.
