Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Social Development that between 27 November 2023 and 5 June 2026 that 392 occupied positions were disestablished resulting in redundancy, at a cost of $25,454,162.20 in redundancy payments. I refer the member to the published annual reviews which provides tables providing details of restructuring including any roles that were disestablished during the previous financial year. For the Crown Entitles, I refer the Member to the attached table, which provides the number of positions disestablished and the total cost of redundancy payments.
