Answer

I refer the member to page 72 of the Budget 2026 - Summary of Initiatives - 28 May 2026 which outlines information relevant to the Baseline Savings initiative including which agencies are excluded. https://www.treasury.govt.nz/publications/summary-intiatives/summary-initiatives-budget-2026.
