Written Question

2285 (2024). Hon Carmel Sepuloni to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: How many case management appointments, if any, were cancelled during the week of 6 March 2024, broken down by region?
Hon Louise Upston: The Ministry of Social Development (the Ministry) is unable to provide the information sought by the Member within a written parliamentary question timeframe as it would take substantial effort and require the Ministry to divert personnel from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 199-6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering these questions within this timeframe is not in the public interest.
