Answer
I am advised by the Ministry of Education that, during the week of 9 February 2026, there were 18,164 (3.7 percent) late lunches from a total 490,570 meals delivered reported by external model suppliers. Late deliveries from external suppliers were due to roadworks, road closures, and new drivers.
