Nicola Willis will pick up a new role with a new name in the Economic Growth Portfolio - formerly the Economic Development Portfolio occupied by Melissa Lee.

Willis told Francesca Rudkin she is planning to identify the barriers for small businesses, industry leaders and entrepreneurs. 

The change is among a variety of shakeups to cabinet - Doctor Shane Reti has lost the health portfolio, Simeon Brown has become the new minister for health and handed over his portfolio to Chris Bishop. 

Finance Minister Nicola Willis joins the show.
