Does the Ministry of Social Development's performance framework for Regional Commissioners distinguish between a Regional Commissioner who took all reasonable steps toward the emergency housing reduction target but did not achieve it and one who did not take such steps, and if so, how is that distinction made?

Answer

I am advised that no such distinction is made for the Housing Services effectiveness performance measure, which is not a standalone target. Performance is assessed against all 11 measures
