Answer

I am advised that due to information not being centrally recorded, the Ministry of Social Development is unable to provide the information requested by the Member within a written parliamentary timeframe as it would take substantial manual collation diverting staff from their core duties. In accordance with the Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering this part of the Member’s questions is not in the public interest This is also my response to WPQ 28330 & 28331 (2026)
