8205 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: What policy changes, if any, have occurred in the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, following the Cabinet directive on 13 September 2024 that 'public services should be prioritised on the basis of need, not race'?

Hon Brooke van Velden: None, however I expect WorkSafe New Zealand to comply with the circular.
