Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) that MSD has engaged with Talley’s representatives several times during the week ending 10 April to offer supports as they go through their consultation process. MSD are well connected with Talley’s and plan to work alongside them and impacted staff once the consultation process has been completed.
