Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Social Development (the Ministry) that there have been no changes to the funding provided to, or the staffing within, the Lower Hutt Jobs and Skills Hub. The Lower Hutt Jobs and Skills Hub is funded through the Ministry’s baseline funding. They support major projects which improve employment and skills outcomes for communities through close collaboration between government agencies, employers and industry partners. This is also my response to WPQ 31898 & 31900
