189 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Regulation: What actions, if any, has the Minister's departments or agencies, if any, made in implementing the Cabinet Office Circular titled Needs-Based Service Provision?

Hon David Seymour: I refer the Member to the Ministry for Regulation’s four key functions, to: ensure the quality of new regulation; improve the functioning of existing regulatory systems; raise the capability of those who design and operate regulatory systems; and provide continuous and enduring improvements to the regulatory management system I am advised the Ministry for Regulation does not have specific actions to implement Cabinet Office Circular CO (24) 5 Needs-based Service Provision, however the Ministry’s overall purpose of lifting quality across all regulatory systems, and supporting agencies with regulatory responsibilities to align with good practice will benefit all New Zealanders.
