Answer
I refer the member to the attached table which provides the: • Number of hardship applications processed (grants and declines) for school uniforms from 1 January 2023 to 30 November 2025, by month The Ministry of Social Development (the Ministry) has informed me that, unfortunately, because of system issues, data for December 2025 and January 2026 is not available. The Ministry is currently working to resolve these issues. This is also my response to WPQ’s 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934 & 1935
