How many children, if any, flagged under the Priority One category exited emergency housing into a destination other than social housing?
Answered by
Hon Tama Potaka
Member for Hamilton West · National Party · Associate Minister of Housing
Answer
The Ministry of Social Development has advised that this information is not centrally recorded. Obtaining this information would require substantial manual collation of scanning Priority One client records and checking if clients have exited into a destination other than social housing. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
