Answer

The Ministry of Social Development has advised that this information is not centrally recorded. Obtaining this information would require substantial manual collation and divert 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.
