3317 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Associate Minister of Health: How much, if any, have the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, budgeted for the carbon neutral government programme for the 2026 calendar year?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised that Pharmac has not specifically budgeted for the Carbon Neutral Government Programme. These costs are met from its baseline budget, and this will be the same for the next financial year. The only foreseeable cost will be the auditing of the final carbon footprint report and gathered data.
