8231 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: Further to 5000 (2025), how, if at all, does Oranga Tamariki define the terms 'intervention' and 'required' in the definition of family therapy?

Hon Karen Chhour: I am advised by Oranga Tamariki that an 'intervention' in this context is a therapeutic action or technique that is 'required' meaning identified as meeting a need.
