Answer

For Ministry of Disabled People - Since 27 November 2023, I have appointed five new members to the New Zealand Sign Language Board and reappointed three members. Members are paid $300 per day per meeting attended, and the Chair is paid $400 per day per meeting attended. These fees did not increase on appointment or reappointment. For Disability Support Services, I refer the Member to reply number 27462 (2026)
